TS2290 and 7226-1U3 (LTO-9) SAS HH Tape drive support AIX & VIOS

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

LTO-9 SAS HH connected 7226 tape drives are not supported in AIX / VIOS partitions and may log VRSAS_FABRIC_ERROR, SRN2D11-4101

Please resolve this issue as soon as possible.
SSIC is supported, but power is not.
We would like to provide a SAS card that is supported.
We sincerely hope that all currently supported versions of AIX will be supported.
We have heard that LTO-10 will be released this year or next,
I am concerned about what will happen to LTO-10 if LTO-9 is not supported.
Our company Iguazu is the VAD in Japan for Power/Storage HW.
We receive requests for quotes and purchases from customers who have only seen SSICs, but we are having trouble responding.
Please clarify the reason why you can or cannot respond to each of the following items. If possible, please also clarify when this will be done.
AIX full partition configuration
LPAR configuration of AIX
LPAR of VIOS
AIX partition in VIOC
If you ignore errors at boot time, and there are no other problems, then please state your support for behavior other than at boot time.
