This is the feature that Legato are calling "Device serialisation". I
believe that it does in some way identify the device by SCSI address, or
WWPN or some such, rather than by Windows device name. We all know that
the current method is flawed because of "Plug and Pray" so this should
be a great improvement.

It is touted for NW7.x, but I don't think it went into 7.0 (correct me
if I'm wrong). I think 7.0 got slimmed down a bit due to pressures of
getting it out to market. We can probably expect it in 7.1 or 7.2.
