6. AIX
Hi all,
Sometimes, when I reboot my AIX server, my tape drive /dev/rmt# assignments change. This creates some tedious TSM work prior to and after a reboot of the server.
Is there a way to ensure that the /dev/rmt# assignments come up the same every time?
Thanks (5 Replies)

Description
Prior to Version 2.0, this device was referenced by tmscp(4).

Mass Storage Control Protocol (TMSCP). The TMSCP controllers communicate with the host through a packet-oriented protocol termed the Tape
Mass Storage Control Protocol. This driver also supports n-buffered reads and writes to the raw tape interface (used with streaming tape
drives). See for further details.
