Unless you are installing the Storage Agent, why do you care? If you've
installed the Storage Agent you can run the TSMDLST.EXE utility to get the
MTx.x.x.x -> WWPN mapping. You can then do a 'lscfg -vl rmtx' on AIX to get
the WWPN to match them up. If you've installed the TSM Device Driver, you
can start the TSM Console and click down to the TSM Driver and Device
Information. That gives you the same output, but in  a nice GUI form.

Subject: Re: How to see TSM device driver mapping with TSM server


I've seen that Windows presents the devices as follows

mt{target}.0.0.{bus}

So mt4.0.0.6 would be scsi target 4 on bus 6. We found for tape on FC with
QLogic cards, life was ALOT
easier when we used persistant bindings. All drives would be the same on all
machines.

Using the QLogic SANBLADE software, allowed us to see both the target and
the WWPN of the drive.

Once the target is known, the WWPN can be figured out, then mapped to the
AIX device names.
