Re: [ADSM-L] How to map OS devices to element numbers/locations

Nicholas,

On the GUI, under Service>Drive VPD, you can tie serial number to frame
and row, which can tie back to element under the drive menu.  Use lscfg -v
info for serial numbers in AIX.  It's a few steps, but all of the data can
be chained together.

Hope this helps!

How to map OS devices to element numbers/locations






Hello All,

Thanks for your help!!

We have TSM 5.3.5/AIX 5.3.5/ IBM pSeries 55a/IBM 3584 (8-LTO1 & 8-
LTO2) drives. We have an IBM 2109 switch in the D32 cabinet and an IBM
2005-B16 switch in the L32 expansion cabinet.

I recently had an adapter replaced and when the new AIX devices were
recreated the AIX devices came back in a different order so the
locations/element numbers changed. I supposed I expected the device
assignments to come back the same since no physical changes were made to
the drive or adapter location only the adapter itself.   At any rate, I
need a way to easily map the AIX devices (rmt0, rmt1, etc..) to the
proper element numbers and thereby their location within the library for
service issues. The 3584 GUI doesn't show it (only element numbers). Is
there a way to do this readily?

Nicholas
