LDEV 1 should be ok, with respect to scsi id's. Unfortunately, your tape
drive (presumeably ldev 7) WILL BECOME INACCESSIBLE as will all other scsi
devices if not PROPERLY configured.

To conform to the more stringent 6.0 requirements, all scsi devices
(including tape drives) should have "pseudo" devices in the directly
preceding path.

Following is an example showing a 918 6.0 config.
