Yea, it's empty.

Tried this and also:

echo 1 > /sys/class/fc_host/host0/issue_lip

Still, nothing is seen by the host.  We have also tried changing the
port settings from Loop, to NPIV, to Auto on the d2d device but the
results are the same.  Unfortunately all HP's documentation is
directed towards windows users, who simply use a GUI to discover the
virtual drive.

Ok, I may try this but I had hoped the default settings would work.
We have no problem talking to our SAN on the same fabric, from other
hosts with Qlogic HBAs.

WWN zoning, and yes, the switch can see the host HBA, the virtual tape
library and the tape changer.  I've double-checked the zone and
refreshed it several times but no dice.

I have a ticket open with HP, but their support folks seemed a bit
stumped as well.  /sigh...
