Connect a Tape Library (optional)

You may connect a tape library to your NAS server by ordering the appropriate HBAs

The tape library can be shared by both NAS servers; however, the NAS 8000 nodes cannot
share a tape library with other components on a SAN.
See the tape library user's guide for detailed connection instructions.
