I think for non IBM devices, you go here...

For the Tivoli Storage Manager devices: 
Users can issue autoconf, the Tivoli Storage Manager device driver auto 
configure script. This script resides in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/devices/bin 
directory (or in the same directory as the tsmscsi file) to be able to 
configure devices and get all the current special file names and device 
information. The device special file name is /dev/mtX for tape devices and 
/dev/lbX for medium changers.
Tip: Special file name: dev/tsmscsi/mt0, /dev/tsmscsi/lb0
Note: Alternatively, reinstalling the IBM device driver. Tivoli Storage Manager 
device driver updates all the current special file names.

Subject: [ADSM-L] persistent binding T10000D drives on RedHat 6.4

Hello everybody,

I'm in the process of configuring Oracle T10000D tape drives on RedHat 6.4 
using the TSM device driver 7.1.1 (LAN-free backup), the TSM server 7.1.1 
itself is running on AIX 7.1 .

The autoconf and tsmdlst do show all the drives on the Redhat nodes  but I 
would like to add them to the udev rules so that the device files are 
persistent whenever the server requires a reboot.

Until now, we were using IBM LTO drives and had the following entry in the 
98-lin_tape.rules file for them:

KERNEL=="IBMtape*", ATTRS{serial_num}=="1068100xyz", 
SYMLINK="lin_tape/tsm_drive"

But what is the equivalent entry for a T10000D drive? I've tried the following:

KERNEL=="sg*", ATTRS{serial_num}=="57900400abcd", SYMLINK="lin_tape/t10d_drive"

But that doesn't seem to do the trick.  Can anybody assist me towards the 
correct entry?

Many thanks!

Best regards,
Kurt
