You can reboot the FC-SCSI bridges and sometimes that helps. But
sometimes the problems occurs when that happens.
This was on HP hardware and YMMV.
I know the drive serialization was supposed to work on the serial number
of the tape drive and as I understand starting with 7 Networker
collected that info. But has not made use of it.

YES, Davina matches exactly the point
(which she does most of the time :-)
[ enjoy your postings very much -sg-]
Persistent binding would only help, if NetWorker could work with
physical addresses like [email protected].
Unfortunately it could not, or could it? [ TSM can :-( ]
Changing the OS type is NOT an option,
because investment in 250++ servers (many 4-/8-way) is already huge.
So I'm still looking for other Wintel NetWorkers who have to deal with
the problem and have found ways to ease the pain a bit.
Has someone found a way to reorder SCSI addresses to Windows device
names "on the fly"?
