Or use lbtest.

The syntax on windows is:

lbtest -dev lbx.0.0.y

On UNIX:

lbtest -dev /dev/lbxx  (or somesuch)

Then issue a 6 to open the library, an 8 to get the element count and a 9 to
get the inventory.  Scroll back to the top of the 9 listing to find the
drives.  There you will find element addresses associated with SCSI IDs.
The books are a great idea, but sometimes the books are wrong.  Especially
now that Qualstar changed their drive element numbers to 63000 and above.
This breaks lbtest by the way!

lbtest can be found in the /utils directory on Windows and in the server/bin
directory on Unix.
