ERROR

This message occurs when a serial attached SCSI (SAS) tape or media changer is detected that is not allowed to be attached to this system. This is likely due to the SAS connections being reserved for disk shelf attachment. Tape drives and media changers cannot reliably share a SAS interface with disk drives.

Remove the SAS tape or media changer device.

Attaching a SAS tape or media changer device on adapter "%s" is not supported on this system.

AdapterName (STRING): Adapter name to which the tape device is attached.
