Yesterday, we appear to have lost one of our fiber attached ts1120 drives. TSM on sles9 running as a guest in zvm Server v5.4.4. Tapes are in a 3494 library.
The problem is that lin_tape assigns devices /dev/IBMtape0 /dev/IBMtape1 etc. in order of attachment to tapes. If any one but the last in the list does not attach, this screws up the tsm path definitions, and all subsequent drives will not function. How do I get around this in the future if possible?
