We are currently re-architecting our SAN.  I have had problems with out Tape
drives not coming up in the same order after reboot.

The advice I have received included enable persistent binding on the HBAs.  I
have found out how to do this on the HP web site.

My question is why is this off by default?  Am I losing anything by going to
persistent binding?   IT seems to me to be a good idea to always no what
address everything is going to be at.
