Never mind.  I went back and reread your message and you already have this
info.

In the past, I have used the CE/FE console on my TS1130 drives to show the
ports and assignments/wwn for each (and changed them, as well).  But now
that we have a new TS3500, it is different since the TS3500 seems to do its
own wwn type of assignments.  You can see this through the library web
interface.....
