STK-9840s have dual FC ports.
I've used it for high-availability purposes by connecting each drive to
two different fabrics.

I have no idea why you would want to use the dynamic wwn feature.

Yes, we were told by Storagetek Engineers on L700e it is possible, if
library IPL'd. What IPL mean ? When dWWN was enabled on library, we are
seeing two wwns for each drive in library front panel. But don't know
which wwn will be recognised by SAN switch?

Thanks
Rag
