Anyone here use Emulex cards and RHEL5?  It seems to have persistent 
binding on by default?

Previously, our old environment consisted of QLogic HBAs and when you 
disconnect/re-connect a tape drive, everything just works.

By default with RHEL5 when you disconnect a drive and re-attach it, and 
then check cat /proc/scsi/scsi, it shows a new device and thinks the old 
one is still persisting..  I have not read the docs yet, just began 
looking at this an hour ago but it seems like I need to turn off 
persistent binding(?) in order to keep the same behvaior as the QLogic 
boards?

RHEL5 also has UDEV which may also play a role, a lot of things changed 
obviously, just trying to narrow it down at the moment.

Any hints?

Thanks,

Justin.
