My apologies for the off topic posting, but I cannot think of another
way to ask this question. Does anyone know of a site that is using
QualStar tape libraries with VMS? I have a six drive library on a SAN
fabric, but my cluster only sees one tape drive - $2$MGA0:. I can talk
to it, and am looking to buy the MRU utility to see if I can
manage/manipulate the library, but I'm getting the sick feeling that I'm
the only person on the planet that has this configuration.

Thanks in advance,

Jim Byrne

I don't know any thing about QualStar.
On MSL5026, we use to specify the drive id from little LCD console on the
library.
Can your HW sales person help you?

In the fibre channelworld, one typically needs to deal with device
mapping as well as zoning.

Something else to consider.

Also, if you still lack an answer, try posting to the comp.os.vms
newsgroup. This reply is cross-posted.
