"tpconfig -l" looks a lot like "tpconfig -data", too.

This is as in interesting tidbit which I had not known before.  Just
browsing
the list as a matter of course has it's value!  I checked the command on our
3.4
Solaris system, and found the following:

tpconfig -data is undocumented, but works and returns a list like the GUI
"Device Monitor" including the robot numbers a line at a time.
tpconfig -d is documented, and includes devices and robotic path and volume
hosts separately.  Relatively compact with two lines per device.  Documented
in
MM SysAdm P319
tpconfig -dl Same information as -d except each drive/attribute combination
has
a line, so each drive has 7 lines of display.  (flag came from a tpconfig
-help)

There are probably other undocumented flags.  Oh, and tpconfig -dl only
works on
the current control host.

Thanks for the pointer, and I hope the additional detail helps
someone....Gerrit
