    If booting from a CD to recover the system, will the fibre based disks
    be visible? (e.g. loose a disk group in your EVA and then rebuild the
    disk group <but no data on the disks> and now you are going to recover
    from tape). Are there special commands that you need to enter to see the
    drives? (I know there would be work to be done to mount'em up, but I
    want to know if they will be visible/accesible in hwmgr, etc).

    Second question, what if you have fibre based "tape drives" (e.g. a
    VirtualTapeLibrary), can you see the fibre based tape drives if you boot
    from the installation CD?
