Greetings - 

We've been experimenting with persistent binding in our environment and have 
recently gotten it to work in our lab using the latest version of the 
"non-exclusive" IBM driver - the "exclusive" version does not work.  Our 
environment is:

 - Networker server version 7.4.4 running on a Windows 2003 sp2 server.
 - Several EDL based VTL's that emulate ADIC i2000 libraries with LTO3 drives 
(all VTL drives are dedicated).
 - A physical ADIC i2000 library with LTO3 and LTO4 drives that use dynamic 
drive sharing.

The question for the forum is, is there anything about the non-exclusive 
version of the IBM driver that raises red flags?  We intend to do more testing, 
but if this is a dead end I'd rather spend the time elsewhere.

...and if/when we get this to work, I'm posting the process to the wiki, it's 
been...err...fun.

Thanks in advance
