Does this new feature work as well with jbconfig and/or a library that has connections to many systems instead of having all the connections (drives and robotics) attached to a single system?

Q: What is the correlation between Linux udev rules and the NetWorker jukebox

configured?
A: The udev rules that ship with certain Linux distributions automatically 
create persistently-named symbolic links in certain locations (each 
distribution seems to be slightly different). NetWorker for Linux V7.4 SP2 and 
later has been enhanced to look for several of these locations and, if the 
jukebox attribute 'Use Persistent Names' is selected, NetWorker will use these 
persistently-named symbolic links in its configuration.
NetWorker for Linux V7.4 SP2 and later have this enhancement:
