When using an Emulex 350/355 Inspeed switch to connect to a tape drive, it's best to set a custom port type that uses "target with stealth" mode and disables the PTBI option. This ensures that LIPs on the loop aren't sent to that port, and prevents the switch from forcing the drive to perform a test login before logging into the loop which most drives don't handle well.
How's that for obscure?
