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.

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 -sylvia
