I have a Qualstar tape library connected to a Linux box which is set up as a NetWorker 7.4 Storage Node. This tape library has four LTO-3 drives. There is nothing fancy going on (i.e., no zoning or anything like that). Each drive has its own fibre channel connection to the Linux box, which is a Dell 9250. I can't see to get NetWorker to remember the drive order so I assume I need to set up persistent binding. The HBA cards are Dell branded Qlogic cards and I installed the SANsurfer tool on it, but I don't see how to use it to set up persistent binding and also how to consistently have the drives numbered sequentially from bottom to top in nsrwatch or the NWCM. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks.
