Hi all,
I've a problem I'm not able to solve.
I'm using NW7.4 on a Windows2003 R2 server with a ADIC scalar24 library 
with 2 tapes in FC. This tapes are connected through the SAN to a Qlogic 
FC board on my server on two different ports. I've installed OEM IBM 
drivers for my LTO3 drives but sometimes, rebooting the server, the order 
of the tapes changes. Therefore the library is confused, thinking to 
manage tape1 instead of tape0 and viceversa. I don't know on Windows and 
on Qlogic if I can establish the tapes order. May I use on windows 
something like persistent binding ? 

Any suggestion will be appreciated

Pierp
