Hi, how can persistent bindings be set on a tachyon XL2 fibre card on a HP-UX
11i server? Is it necessary to set persistent bindings for tape devices when
using this card on a HP-UX operating system.
I don't know about this particular card, but my understanding is that in
most cases persistent binding is not necessary on HP-UX since the device
name is mapped to the hardware path as shown by ioscan.
In the environment I am currently working in, there are a number of
HP-UX servers using HP branded HBAs with LTO Ultrium drives and the IBM
atdd driver. There is no means to set up persistent binding here, but I
have still seen a problem where sometimes a device file may get
recreated at a higher number leaving a gap in the list for no apparent
reason. The reason for this is a mystery to me.
