Rob,
Oops - the manual for this library tells me it has a *differential* SCSI interface which I'm almost certain requires an HVD or (old-style) diff adapter on the host. It probably won't work with an LVD adapter in the filer.
Limited specs are in the Sun systems handbook at: http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/L280/L280.html
and the manual is online at: http://sunsolve.sun.com/data/805/805-3958/pdf/805-3958-10.pdf
See page 1-2 (p26 of the PDF) which says "SCSI-2 high density wide differential".
The L280 is an oem from HP (model 718) who offered it with either SCSI type, so if you've got a real HP one you might be lucky.
Otherwise you're stuck. I've never had much luck with SCSI converters, but others may disagree. NetApp don't seem to offer a differential adapter according to the parts finder on NOW.

I'm coming in on Sunday to cable two Sun L280 (4700?) DLT 7000 7 tape stackers to my FAS940.
Support told me that the system will probe the SCSI controller and yield the correct device types.
Here's my sysconfig -v output:
slot 8: SCSI Host Adapter 8a (Adaptec AIC7899A) HW Version 0.0 Ultra160 SCSI, Low Voltage Differential slot 8: SCSI Host Adapter 8b (Adaptec AIC7899A) HW Version 0.0 Ultra160 SCSI, Low Voltage Differential
Anything I should know to get these bad boys to work? I'll be configuring them as NDMP devices from my Legato 6.1.3 server next week.
Thanks in advance!
-Rob
