Hi Eric, I think there should be a few available. One of them is to look into /sys per HBA port and per SCSI target, the /proc/scsi/scsi can be a source for paths. ,eg: /sys/class/scsi_host/host6/device/rport-6:0-0/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0 This folder has lintape drive number serial_num Probably there could be easier ways.
