    The WWN of the drive is location-dependent and not device-dependent. That is, each time that the drive is reset or powered on, the library reestablishes the WWN so that a drive in Slot x always keeps the same WWN, even if the drive is replaced.

    For maximum performance, multiple SCSI buses may be required (see “Using Multiple SCSI Buses”), and IBM Ultrium Tape Drives must be the only target devices that are active on the bus. Note: For maximum performance, the quantity of tape drives that you can attach to one SCSI bus is limited, and is based on the type of bus that you have and the amount of data compression achieved.
