This is the one major problem with the Qlogic driver.  The Emulex
card/driver supports persistent binding last I checked.  We all should
probably start pounding on Qlogic for a solution.

Subject: binding WWN and SCSI on NT with QLOGIC


Greetings,

Is there a way to permanently bind a WWN address to a SCIS ID in w2K with a
QLOGIC QLA2200. If so, what is the utility available and the driver version
necessary for this. We are currently using driver version 8.1.5.60 on a
QLA2200 and W2K.

There seems to be a problem whenever the SAN "glitches", the drive
attribution on NT changes from the original setting, therefore our
drivemapping on TSM is no longer valid in our lanfree environment.

sincerely,
