Hi Sebastian

Thanks for the reply!  You mentioned:

"If you do not have IBM Tapes, the Microsoft Driver (tape.sys) that
is part of the current W2k3 Server release should do the trick,
although I could not test this."

Can you (or anyone on the list) provide more details?

Thanks

 Hi everybody,

I can confirm that the IBM Tape Drive Persistent Binding Works.
We are using it with IBM 3592 Tapes Drives (Driver Version 6.1.6.2).

If you do not have IBM Tapes, the Microsoft Driver (tape.sys) that
is part of the current W2k3 Server release should do the trick,
although I could not test this.

FC HBA persistent binding is inferior because of the tape device
renaming that occurs if you loose just one tape drive.

Regards,

Sebastian
