We have a 3584 here, but our D/R hotsite provider is suggesting using
the STK for our next test. I'm inclined to turn it down, not because I
have an issue with STK but because I've currently got the library and
tape definition process scripted and IIRC, I'll have 'issues' with the
STK.

We will be recovering an an AIX 5.3 system with TSM at 5.3.1.6 and Atape
9.6.0.0. IIRC, the library will be 'lb0' and not 'smc0'; the tape drives
will be 'mtx' and not 'rmtx' as well, correct?

We just went through a D/R test this week, and a new AIX admin with NO
TSM experience successfully restored the box, recovered the TSM
database, and defined the library/drives to the point of starting
restores. I'm not real interested in trying to fake out scripting for
something I don't have . . .

Am I right in my naming assumptions above?

TIA
