Recently, I've got a document (from IBM)
desribing the same naming problems for TSM :-)

>It is recommended that because of the potentially changing nature
>of \\.\Tapex names on Windows NT and Windows 2000 platforms
>this naming convention is not used.
>The alternative is to use a device alias name
>in the form of mtx.y.z.n for all tape devices.
>This identifies a device explicitly by

>rather than by its Windows assigned device name.

It's the very 1st time I've heard about these "DEVICE ALIAS NAMES".
Do they realy exist?
If NetWorker will accept this new naming conventions
"almost all" my problems in the SAN are solved.

Has somebody made this to work?
