Sue, you mean that when using SAS Libraries (like a TS2900 or
3100) thru VIOS only the tape is visible, right? Because if i
use direct attach i can use the media changer without problems
(i try to clarify this point since i spent a good while
searching for that specific fact).

I have never been able to get my grubby mitts on a SAS tape
library. With this in mind, everything I've been told is the
device must be set to sequential mode in order to be virtualized
using the VSCSI support rolled out in IVM, VIOS, and IBM i.

If this is documented anywhere, I would expect to find it in the
IBM i Technology Updates wiki pages at developerWorks.
