    Good morning all:
    I was ask a question last night:
    Can you boot a server from a fibre tape drive? I tried this on an S80
    with a 3494 fibre drive and the system didn't see the device.
    So now I ask the you has anyone done this or can it be done? If so
    what are the step needed to do this.
    As always I look forward to the replies and thank you in advance.
    Vince
