Hello,
If the Drives are attached via Fiber, you may be able to load FC managment 
software ( or updading Bios) to enable Persistant binding , that will help 
with drives getting off sequience. ( Sansurferpro for Qlogic)
Also, newer IBM drives now include a paramenter to bind drive order 
( check ibm site , driver level 6.6.2-Readme, atlest for windows platform).
finally, if you have 7.3 level networker, jbconfig includes eliment number 
during setup, if you combine that with sjimm output, you should be able to 
achive correct drive order.
