AIX:
lscfg -vl rmt* | awk '/rmt/ {printf $1};/Serial/ {print $0};' | sed 
's/Serial.*\.//'

Linux
(ibm driver):
cat /proc/scsi/IBMtape
(tsm driver):
for each in /dev/tsmscsi/mt*; do echo $each $(sginfo -s $each); done

Also, here is an old AIX shell script I used to change all the device names so 
they match on every host. It uses "chdev" instead of "rendev” (I never heard of 
rendev until today!)
For linux, you would use the udev facility.

#!/bin/sh

TEMPFILE=/tmp/drive-renumber.tmp1

# Change devs to temp names
for i in `lsdev -Cc tape | awk '/LTO Ultrium Tape Drive/ {print $1}'`; do chdev 
-l $i -a new_name=$i-temp; done


#End result file
echo "rmt0 F001CD4001
rmt1 F001CD4007
rmt2 F001CD400D
rmt3 F001CD4013
rmt4 F001CD4019
rmt5 F001CD401F
rmt6 F001CD4025" > $TEMPFILE


# Get serial numbers
lscfg -vl rmt* | awk '/rmt/ {printf $1};/Serial/ {print $0};' | sed 
's/Serial.*\.//' | while read TEMPDEVICE SERIAL do if grep $SERIAL $TEMPFILE > 
/dev/null then chdev -l $TEMPDEVICE -a new_name=`grep $SERIAL $TEMPFILE | awk 
'{print $1}'` fi done

rm $TEMPFILE
