Can an LTO drive be connected to an K360 server with 28696A SCSI adapter?
Can anyone of any help.
Thanks in advance.

"# IBM 3580 Models L11 and L13 Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium External Tape Drives feature an Ultra2/Wide SCSI Low Voltage Differential (LVD) interface
# IBM 3580 Models H11 and H13 Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium External Tape Drives feature an Ultra/Wide SCSI High Voltage Differential (HVD) interface"
According to Partsurfer, the 28696A is a "Fast wide differential SCSI-2 host adapter board kit".
I don't think you can mix FastWide and UltraSCSI.

Our tape is an H11 model so it is HVD.
Looking in IBM's and HP's sites, we found out it is not supported.

You are going to need another I/O card to make that work.

A few additions;
The H11 should work with the K360 on either HP-PB your card or the HSC equivalent. Although stape works alright on the newer hardware against IBM's LTO, it doesn't seem to work on the older stuff very well. If you want to make it work better, download the IBM specific driver from the IBM website;
http://www.storage.ibm.com/storagesmart/lto/support/lto_ftp.htm
and perform the install for the tape driver only. You don't need the library driver, schgr should work fine.
The other thing to note, only with really good compression will you be able to maintain streaming on an HP-PB connection. I would strongly suggest getting the HSC card for that machine, as it does much better at sustained throughput. You can get them from vendors for around $60-75, or off ebay occasionally for less.
