Ok,  I'm going to ask one of those questions that I'm sure there's a
simple answer to, but I can't find it!
Scsi jukeboxes use an element address to have the robot access a
drive.  The 3494 doesn't do this, but I can't figure out what it does
do!  When I define a drive in the 3494 to TSM, all I specify is the
AIX device name (/dev/rmtx), which the 3494 has no knowledge of.  How
does tsm/3494 figure out which drive to mount a tape in?

Thanks

Rick
