We occasionally get an sso drive locked on our win2003 system, but it's always the netapp that won't let the drive go.

While officially supported many people reported problems with device ownership. Windows was somewhat "grabby" and liked to possess shared devices rather than happily share them. We're probably starting a process now with the upcoming 7.1 and our first implementation of Windows servers as media servers (either Win2003 or Win2008 depending on when they're built). What's been your more recent experience sharing tape drives (Ultrium 5) between Windows & Unix (AIX/Linux) media servers? We have been sharing drives for years between Windows and Solaris. Recently we also added NetApp in the SSO environment. It all works well. We're about to find out how well Linux plays in the sandbox. I don't think we've had an SSO issue in a long time. .../Ed
