The Firmware of the IBM LTO Gen 2 drives allows the library to change the wwn of the tape drive. I know this feature is supported by the L180 anbd L700, does anyone now if the L5500 supports this feature?
 
Yes, the L5500 does support changing the wwn. Storagetek technicians have a utility to do this. I have had several drives replaced in a L5500 and the Storagetek technician that replaced the drive changed the wwn on the new drive to match the wwn of the old drive.
