That's why I said you also have to configure the FC Bridge/Router on the
Library and enable "device mapping" which in essence maps a SCSI ID to a
FC LUN. I use IBM 4560LX's (aka Neo2000's) and configure this setting on
the FC Router.

Thanks,

Dana

Persistent binding is not sufficient to totally solve this problem.

Persistent binding locks down the binding of WWPN or WWNN to SCSI b.t.l 
addresses. It does not control the mapping of SCSI addresses to Windows 
device names.
