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.
Thanks Fazil;
One of the first things I did in setting this up is loading the
software for my SAN switch and enabling persistent binding. That part
works fine, as far as I can tell. I discovered that our tape library
is presenting five robotic controllers to Linux, not one robotic
controller with four LTO-3 tape drives. Qualstar is researching that
issue now.
