Nicholas, On the GUI, under Service>Drive VPD, you can tie serial number to frame and row, which can tie back to element under the drive menu. Use lscfg -v info for serial numbers in AIX. It's a few steps, but all of the data can be chained together.
Hope this helps! _________________________________ Kathleen Hallahan Freddie Mac Nicholas Rodolfich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> 10/31/2007 10:56 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> To ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU cc Subject How to map OS devices to element numbers/locations Hello All, Thanks for your help!! We have TSM 5.3.5/AIX 5.3.5/ IBM pSeries 55a/IBM 3584 (8-LTO1 & 8- LTO2) drives. We have an IBM 2109 switch in the D32 cabinet and an IBM 2005-B16 switch in the L32 expansion cabinet. I recently had an adapter replaced and when the new AIX devices were recreated the AIX devices came back in a different order so the locations/element numbers changed. I supposed I expected the device assignments to come back the same since no physical changes were made to the drive or adapter location only the adapter itself. At any rate, I need a way to easily map the AIX devices (rmt0, rmt1, etc..) to the proper element numbers and thereby their location within the library for service issues. The 3584 GUI doesn't show it (only element numbers). Is there a way to do this readily?
