mix fc and tape devices

I have a problem with some partitions.

In one of them I have this two fiber channel.

lsdev -Cc adapter
ent0 Available 03-08 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI-X Adapter (14106902)
fcs0 Available 04-08 FC Adapter
fcs1 Available 05-08 FC Adapter
ide0 Defined 07-08 ATA/IDE Controller Device
sisscsia0 Available 00-08 PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter
vsa0 Available LPAR Virtual Serial Adapter

In my tape devices I have this

lsdev -c tape
rmt0 Available 05-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt1 Available 05-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt2 Available 05-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt3 Available 05-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt4 Available 04-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt5 Available 04-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
rmt6 Available 04-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

smc0 Available 05-08-02 IBM 3583 Library Medium Changer (FCP)
smc1 Available 04-08-02 IBM 3583 Library Medium Changer (FCP)

In my disk devices I have this

lsdev -c disk
hdisk0 Available 00-08-00-5,0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk1 Available 00-08-00-8,0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk2 Available 04-08-02 1742-900 (900) Disk Array Device
hdisk3 Available 04-08-02 1742-900 (900) Disk Array Device


As you can see I have a mix in my devices in on of them 04-08 I have tape and disk. and in the 05-08 I have only tape.

The thing that I want to do is that my both fc see only the disk, because if one of them fails I have the other one.


In the switch san. I have the zones I have to take off the zone of this fiber to the tape.

In my client storage software I add my second fc.

In aix I dont do anything.


Im confused what I have to do.


Thanks for your tips

Aix is 5.3, the storage is DS4500
