Matt - I was looking over the isp driver in both -stable and -current. I have not really dug in yet but it appears that you are adding the ability to wire (if that is the proper FreeBSD terminology) a particular WWN to a device name. If I am correct - what is the status of that functionality? I have only worked with -stable up till now so I can't run a quick test. Assuming this feature is available/coming soon has any discussion occurred about some mechanism for supporting hot swap of FC devices, without rebooting, such that the new device shows works with the previous device name? I am specifically thinking of a tape library with multiple native FC tape drives. The drives currently do not allow hard addressing. If a drive needs to be replaced the replacement drive would need to show up as the old device to keep any application software/scripts happy. Thanks for the time.
