We did that exactly for the same reason - just to isolate the problem as much as possible.
rite.It's better to put the library on the switch and check where the problem is.Since you have eliminated the switch as the problem now, you could connect it now.... There could be a whole lot of things going wrong..If u put the host and library on the SAN, you can chk from the switch if: 1) the host adapter is registering properly 2) the tape library is registering its drives properly. Then you'll know which is the problem maker. since i'm unaware about the TL890, i can only offer help *from* the switch ;-)
