Setup the TSM server first.
Use "lscfg -vl rmt#" to find out the serial numbers of each of the 3590
tape drives. (If you suspect that the ODM is out of synch with reality,
you can also use tapeutil to query the drive's serial number
interactively.)

I have a little script that renames tape device names in AIX to be
stable across AIX boxes. We do this to make it easier to move TSM

When AIX scans the SCSI bus (sometimes it is fiber) it will see the next
port first, then continue in port order until the end the start at port
0 and finish the scan.
If you have your servers in ports 0-4 and your tape drives in the other
ports they should show up in the same order each time.

David,
If I understand your issue correctly, then I think you can use the AIX
'chdev' command like this:
chdev -l rmt5 -a new_name=rmt8
This lets you assign an rmtx name of your choice to each tape drive. I
use this to set drive device names to rmt1 thru rmt8 rather than using
the default rmt0
