I'm experimenting with a Dell ML6000 LTO Library attached to my Freenas server. I have 2 QLE 2460 FC HBAs that Freenas appears to recognize, and I followed instructions to add tunables to enable isp driver and ctladm command to kick things off.

At this point I can see the HBAs with lspci:

02:00.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2432-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 03)
08:00.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2432-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 03)

and when I look at the web interface for the ML6000 I can see the drive is negotiated at 4GB in Point to Point mode. I have no idea where to go next. All the threads I'm seeing are about FC target mode, but I'm just looking to get a single p2p FC device to show up.

FreeNAS does not natively support tapes. The don't work like a normal random IO block device. you May be able to hack something together in a jail but setting up a TL in a jail is beyond me.
