I'm using MRU V1.8B on both VMS 8.4 Alpha and I64. The tape libraries are a HP EML library with LTO2 drives and a HP ESL with LTO4 drives. The EML's robot and LTO2's are connected to the SAN fabric through 2Gb interface controllers and the tape drives 2Gb AL to the interface controller.  The ESL's robot is connected to the SAN fabric the same way as in the EML.  The LTO4's are cabled directly to the SAN fabric at 4Gb.
