Connect a Tape Library (optional)

Connect the Network Ports

30 Installation Guide
If you purchased a tape library with your solution, your server has the appropriate SCSI or
FC HBAs pre-installed. The tape library can be shared by both NAS servers in the cluster;
however, the HP NAS 8000 nodes cannot share a tape library with other components on the
SAN.
See your tape library user's guide for detailed connection instructions.

(See "HA Planning Worksheet" on page 16.)
