Your path and drive definition are correct, providing /dev/rmt1 really
is the first drive.
Do lsattr -El rmt1 and look at 'ww_name'; the last digit is the drive
number, 1 through c (12) and the next to last is the column number, 0
through c (12). So a ww_name that ends in '01' is the first physical
drive in the library, '02' is the second, and so on. This may not be the
sequence AIX defines the rmt numbers in.
For example, I have two fiber switches and I've got the odd-numbered
drives in switch 1, the even numbers in switch 2. AIX walks switch 1
first, then switch 2. So my rmt numbers, in drive element sequence, are
rmt0, rmt5, rmt1, rmt6 . . . and so on.
If you logically partition your library -- there is no change in the rmt
number or ww_name for the drives, but you will get a new /dev/smcX
related to the lowest-numbered drive in the second library. You do need
to define the correct devices and paths for the second library, but
drive 9 is still drive 9 with the same element number -- just in the
'other' library.
I'm caffiene-deprived this morning, so I mave have just confused things.

Subject: Define 3584 Library & LTO2 Drive
Would someone mind explaining how to define the library in TSM 5.3 when
the
library type is 3584 and the drives are LTO2? I see that AIX picks up
the
control path to the library and makes the definition through a drive.
I'm
only familiar with 3494's and from what I have seen so far there is no
example that fills the category for defining a 3584 library so maybe you
just don't. The other question would be if the library is broken into 2
logical libraries would there be anything additional?
I'd also like to know if someone believes this would be complete for
defining the drive and its path. Provided I have the element correct
that
is.
def drive 3584lib lto_drv_1 elem=257
define path tsm1 lto_drv_1 srct=server destt=drive libr=3584lib
devi=/dev/rmt1
