I am TSM 5.1.6.2, Win2K, 3583, LTO1, SCSI not SAN.

I use the mt0.0.0.x and lbx.0.0.1 names in the path defs.
If you will start the TSM device configuration "wizard" from the TSM console
icon,
those are the names that show up, and the wizard will even create the device
& path defs for you.

Hi folks!

My environment is TSM 5.2 on Windows 2000, tapelibrary is 3583 lto on the
SAN.


II wonder.....when defining path for tapelibrary and drives, should the
device parameter be \\.\Tape0 and Changer0 (which is how Windows sees the
devices?)etc, or mt0.0.0.1 an lb1.0.0.1(which is how TSM sees the
devices?)?
What decides which device name we are going to use in such cases?
I'm running IBM Windows device driver for both library and drives.

kindly regards
