A customer has purchased a new BladeCenter H (BCH) and POWER blade to run IBM i. The
POWER blade is configured with two Fibre Channel interlaces for attaching SAN and tape.
They have an IBM TS3500 tape library with a fibre channel connection, and current firmware is
running through a fibre switch to another IBM i system. One port on the existing switch and one
port in the BCH fibre switch has been zoned to provide a connection from the tape library to the
BCH.
After IBM i 7.1 SLIC and base OS are installed on the blade from IBM distribution media, the tape
library does not appear in the device configuration.
What is the most likely cause of the problem?

A.
The existing switch does not support NPIV.

B.
NPIV enablement was omitted when configuring the BCH switch.

C.
The BCH switch configuration must match the link speed of the TS3500.

D.
A switch-to-switch cable is required. A switch to device cable was shipped with the BCH by
default.
