Dynamic Worldwide Name

To correct re-configuration problems within a .customer's Fibre Channel
network, 3.02 firmware includes the dynamic Worldwide Name (dWWN)
enhancement. Previously, Fibre Channel devices contained fixed Worldwide
names within the network. If a device (for example, a defective tape drive)
required replacement, the new device was detected by the network as
"unknown" and re-configuration of the network was required.
When enabled, dWWN assigns names to library drive slots rather than devices.
When a drive is replaced, the new drive receives the same name as the one
replaced, thereby eliminating the need for system re-configuration There are
three Worldwide Names reserved for each drive: Node, Port A, and Port B.
Note: This feature requires corresponding drive code that supports the
