The driver uses the wwn in the device name. This does not change if the tape drive is plugged into another card or port.

Do you lose /dev/rmt entries? Can you see the drives in the output of a scan command? You might want to verify the persistant binding settings for the HBA card. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu ----------------------------------------- The information contained in this email message and its attachments is intended only for the private and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above, unless the sender expressly agrees otherwise.
