Hi Pablo

I think at least some of the issue is HBA depended.

I am told that you can make persistent binding on emulex on NT/W2K.

I know from experience that Qlogic 2200 on NT dosn't have this feature.

I will be very interested if you find a solution HP-UX.

Subject:  [NBUADV-L] Swap of drives on NBU device configuration


There is a symptom any time a Fibre Channel Tape Drive replacement or a
Brocade Port change,
The OS ( NT, HPUX ) scan the tape drives that map "new drives" with a new
Tape WWN or a new Brocade Switch number.

The side effect of this scan is that the Device configuration are changed
or
swapped.

I am working in a large environment with 25 Fibre Channel drives and any
change of drives or SW port reflect on  changing the Device configuration.

I heard that there are solution for binding for NT.   someone can explain
from his experience?

What about the solution on HPUX ?? someone implement a binding solution on
HPUX ????

Kind Regards,
