I have got the same type of issue. The only difference is I have 2
libraries and when backup server reboots the drives between them get
mixed up and really causes major issues. Everything has been persistent
binding but tape#'s keep changing. So far I haven't found anything to
keep this from happening.

You can set persistent binding in the HBA utility software.. Not sure
about Qlogic, but you get HBAnyware for Emulex cards, where you can set
this. There should be a Qlogic equivalent.
And though you set it, I have seen the device order changes whenever the
library is rebooted. So if you reboot the library, make sure you reboot
the server/storage node as well.

Subject: [Networker] Windows2003 R2 change tape order at boot
Hi all,
I've a problem I'm not able to solve.
I'm using NW7.4 on a Windows2003 R2 server with a ADIC scalar24 library
with 2 tapes in FC. This tapes are connected through the SAN to a Qlogic
FC board on my server on two different ports. I've installed OEM IBM
drivers for my LTO3 drives but sometimes, rebooting the server, the
order of the tapes changes. Therefore the library is confused, thinking
to manage tape1 instead of tape0 and viceversa. I don't know on Windows
and on Qlogic if I can establish the tapes order. May I use on windows
something like persistent binding ?
Any suggestion will be appreciated
Pierp
