We have a similar, but different solution. We have a script we use to rename AIX tape devices to a predictable name, based on the last 4 characters of the WWN. After running it on each AIX system, the device names will be the same on each system. After running "tsmchrmt rmt0", the device will have a name similar to: rmt.f0c6.0.0 where "f0c6" are the last 4 chars of the device's WWN. I don't recall where we got the seed for this script, but here is our version, which we call "tsmchrmt": ---- #!/bin/sh if [ $# != 1 ] then echo "must specify 1 rmt device name as an argument." exit 4 fi d=$1 WWN=`/usr/sbin/lsattr -El $d -a ww_name|cut -f2 -d" "|cut -c15-` LUN=`/usr/sbin/lsattr -El $d -a lun_id|cut -f2 -d" "|cut -c3` root=`echo $d|cut -c1-3` new_name=$root.$WWN.$LUN.0 let "j=0" while [[ -e /dev/$new_name ]] do let "j=j+1" new_name=$root.$WWN.$LUN.$j done /usr/sbin/chdev -l $d -a new_name=$new_name ---- ..Paul -- Paul Zarnowski Ph: 607-255-4757 Manager, Storage Services Fx: 607-255-8521 719 Rhodes Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-3801 Em: p...@cornell.edu
