Hi Eric,

I'm not sure it's possible to selectively remove /dev/IBMchangerX devices.
I would follow 
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ts4300-tape-library?topic=tape-taking-devices-offline-completing-maintenance
 to completely stop lintaped as it should remove all IBMtape/IBMchanger and 
then proceed with removal of generic tape devices

lsscsi and find the H:B:T:L for each Tape Device.
Then, for each H:B:T:L do:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/scsi/devices/H:B:T:L/delete

Reconfigure control paths in library (, rescan_scsi just to make sure) and 
start lintaped.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [ADSM-L] TS4300 configuration

Hi guys,

I'm connecting a TS4300 to my SP server. The library I defined contains 6 drive 
and I selected all drives as control path. This however creates six 
/dev/IBMchanger devices. So before I correct my mistake and update the library 
definition, I like to remove /dev/IBMchanger1 to 5 first. What is the proper 
way to remove these library devices from a Linux host?
Thanks for any help in advance!

Kind regards,
Eric van Loon
