I don't know about the fiber-channel part, but the library will be
/dev/smc0, not lb0. Also, the library by default is lun 1 on the
lowest-number tape drive in the partition - normally drive 1 in the library.
Make sure you can find the tape drives, because you won't find the library
without them.
Here's what I get doing lsdev -Cc tape on a SCSI 3584:
rmt0 Available 50-58-00-0,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive
rmt1 Available 50-58-00-1,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive
rmt2 Available 60-68-00-2,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive
rmt3 Available 60-68-00-3,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive
rmt4 Available 70-60-00-4,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive
smc0 Available 50-58-00-0,1 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer
rmt5 Available 70-60-00-5,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive
rmt6 Available 50-68-00-6,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive
rmt7 Available 50-68-00-8,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive
rmt8 Available 30-70-00-9,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive
rmt9 Available 30-70-00-10,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive
These are the devices you configure to TSM.
Hope this helps -
