EMC DataDomain Configuration on a IBM p7

[NJ88210]

I'm running TSM v6.2.3.0 on AIX V6. I'm running TSM on a IBM p7 box. I did all the zoning, SAN client definitions, drive creations on the DD box, AIX discovered RMT#'s, mapped them to the correct drives. My issue is I can not locate the /dev/lb0 (Library in AIX) I see the changer in the DD box, however it has NO wwn's. The drives are IBM ULTRIUM-TD1

What library should the DD990 emulate?
How do I discover /dev/lib0?

It should be L180 emulation from DD side. so for changer you need to use TSM device drivers.

You can follow the steps given below to detect it on AIX.....

Actually because we are on a P7 the emulation should be a TS3500 library emulation. I found that doc hidden on EMCs website. So beware if you migrate to a P7, your DD990 may not work because the emualtion is no longer a L180.
