Hi,
I guess he's talking about the QLogic SANsurfer tool. The latest version
should be the 2.0.23 and you can download it from the QLogic website.
But be aware of some restrictions:
We tried to use it for persistent binding in an environment with dual
attached STK9940A drives. But the Windows hosts were not always able to see
all 16 devices (8 drives, with 2 paths each). Sometimes it were 10, or 5,
or 8, or...
QLogic is working on this effect, it could be some kind of timing problem
during the device detection phase. The suggested workaround (first one
path, then the other, then both) didn't work for us. BTW: The AIX TSM
server doesn't have this problem...
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Met vriendelijke groeten,
With best regards,
Bien amicalement,
CU/2,

Subject: binding WWN and SCSI on NT with QLOGIC QLA2200
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like the specifics on this as well. What is the version of
the utility that allows you to do this Paul? Do you have a url that I could
look at that would provide some additional doc on it?
