Using TSMManager to query the drives, it issues this command:
select
library_name,drive_name,online,device_type,element,drive_state,allocated_to,drive_serial
from drives
Which gives you the drive serial numbers.
LIBRARY_NAME: TS3500-COPY
DRIVE_NAME: 7857392
ONLINE: YES
DEVICE_TYPE: 3592
ELEMENT: 258
DRIVE_STATE: EMPTY
ALLOCATED_TO:
DRIVE_SERIAL: 000007857392
Then when I query for the details of a drive, it issues this command:
11:28:52 AM SUN : QUERY DRIVE TS3500-COPY 78A073E f=d
Library Name: TS3500-COPY
Drive Name: 78A073E
Device Type: 3592
On-Line: Yes
Read Formats:
3592-3C,3592-3,3592-2C,3592-2,35-
92C,3592
Write Formats: 3592-3C,3592-3,3592-2C,3592-2
Element: 262
Drive State: EMPTY
Volume Name:
Allocated to:
WWN: 5005076044093B07
Serial Number: 0000078A073E
Last Update by (administrator): OPERATIONS
Last Update Date/Time: 09/05/2013 10:36:13
Cleaning Frequency (Gigabytes/ASNEEDED/NONE): NONE
which then gives you the WWN.
