1 SAS card, 2 LTOs

[pumkin]

Hi
Do they work if we connect 2 LTOs to 1 SAS card(with 2 port)?
Do they work if we connect 2 LTOs to 1 FC card(with 2 port)?
Does it work when the LTO(HP,IBM)(SAS,FC) is pulled out of the library and connected to the PC as standalone?
Thank you for your help.

Yes

HP Yes, IBM may be an issue not 100%

On your third point regarding pulling a drive from a library and using it standalone.  Generally that works if you have an enclosure with suitable power and cooling but there are library configurations that can be persistently saved and cause the drive to not work outside of a library until the drive is reconfigured using the library interface to clear those settings.
