Hi,
[...]
On AIX you can use the rendev cmd to rename a rmt devices.
well, that depends.
You can rename all devices managed by aTape (lsdev -Cc tape). If you're using
a SCSI library that relies on using the TSM drivers and mt devices (lsdev -Cc
admstape) instead, you cannot rename them.
We usually run two ugly command lines to list all serial numbers and device
names:
for device in $(lsdev -Cc adsmtape |awk '{print $1};') ; do lscfg -vl $device
|egrep '(Serial|mt)'; done
for device in $(lsdev -Cc tape |awk '{print $1};') ; do lscfg -vl $device
|egrep '(Serial|rmt|smc)'; done
Mostly, the mt devices won't report a serial number, so the matching between
the WWN in the location code and the serial number is left as an exercise for
the admin ;)
Best regards,
Sven
