IPL is an old mainframe term which means Initial Program Load..  in 
layman's it means reboot.

Yes, we were told by Storagetek Engineers on L700e it is possible, if 
library IPL'd. What IPL mean ? When dWWN was enabled on library, we are 
seeing two wwns for each drive in library front panel. But don't know 
which wwn will be recognised by SAN switch?

Thanks
