Thanks Joost.
Shortly after I sent the email it dawned on me that I might need to do the
persistan binding which works.
I actually bound by hba, port & WWN but it looks like I can skip the WWN.
I ended forcing both the hba's to 1GB since the 2nd hba went into a wild
loop of "ulm_event: RESET_REQUIRED" messages when set to Auto-Negotiate.
I've had no problem with Topology left to Auto-Negotiate though.
Thanks for the tips.
