that you can avoid the exposure of introducing zoning errors because you do not
have to change the zoning configuration if a drive needs service or replacement.
Attention:
It is recommended that tape storage devices be connected on a
separate HBA from disk storage devices to avoid potential configuration
incompatibilities.

Sharing on a Storage Area Network
With Storage Area Network (SAN) components, the possibilities for connecting
multiple systems and multiple drives have increased. Not all software and systems
are designed to share drives. Before you install a drive that would allow two
systems to share it, check that the systems and their software support sharing. If
your software does not support sharing, note that Fibre Channel switches have a
zoning capability to form a SAN partition. For systems that do not cooperate, use
zoning to prevent the systems from sharing the same drive. You can remove zoned
partitions as you upgrade software and system levels.
