The newest driver broke everything (disk, tape...)?

In both of my working Windows 2003 servers, we have two HBA's for dual-path
redundancy to the SAN.  Only one of the cards is in the same zone as the
tape library, however.

The driver issue I alluded to was that we naturally installed the newest
Emulex LightPulse 8000 driver.  It didn't work.  We found that going back to
the 7/21/2002 driver allowed everything to work fine.  A coworker mentioned
that he had talked to Emulex about this, and that it is a known problem..
the next version of the driver will be corrected.

Check out this article:  http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/253391.htm
SSO is only supported completely for one (yeah, one) HBA.  The article
mentions that Veritas will support other HBA/driver scenarios as long as the
underlying SAN stability issues are addressed.  I have an open ticket with
Veritas and will pass on more info as our conversation progresses.

William, can you tell me your case number or the person to whom you were
speaking (offline if you wish)?  Maybe the two people can confer and we can
get a better picture of what we can expect moving forward.  I know this
throws a kink in my Win03 upgrade plans.
