I'm trying to connect to lash up some zFCP-attached tape drives to SuSE
SLES9 servers running under z/VM 5.2. I'm finally to the point where I vary
the paths online. For example,
gentoo52:/ # echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/zfcp/0.0.4d30/online
scsi16 : zfcp
Aug  4 13:40:08 gentoo52 kernel: scsi16 : zfcp
zfcp: The adapter 0.0.4d30 reported the following characteristics:
WWNN 0x5005076400c5e76c, WWPN 0x5005076401607393, S_ID 0x00642d13,
adapter version 0x3, LIC version 0x605, FC link speed 1 Gb/s
zfcp: Switched fabric fibrechannel network detected at adapter 0.0.4d30.
Aug  4 13:40:08 gentoo52 kernel: zfcp: The adapter 0.0.4d30 reported the
following characteristics:
Aug  4 13:40:08 gentoo52 kernel: WWNN 0x5005076400c5e76c, WWPN
0x5005076401607393, S_ID 0x00642d13,
Aug  4 13:40:08 gentoo52 kernel: adapter version 0x3, LIC version 0x605, FC
link speed 1 Gb/s
Aug  4 13:40:08 gentoo52 kernel: zfcp: Switched fabric fibrechannel network
detected at adapter 0.0.4d30.

A couple questions:
1) How can I get these to come online by themselves at boot time?
2) Once the paths are online, how do the tape devices get created?
(/dev/???)

I have /etc/zfcp.conf configured. The entry for the 4d30 path looks like:
0x4d30 0x01:0x500104f0006fd1af 0x00:0x0000000000000000

These devices will eventually be used by TSM, so that adds another wrinkle.
