Shalom,

iocan -fnCtape

Run within the vpar this will show the scsi address of the tape drive.

You could also run dd and see which one lights up.

Re: map drives

do you have maper i/o at superdome? . You can compare with phisical I?O at superdome with output from vparstatus.

Re: map drives

If you are able to follow the cables it would be easy. Just run "olrad -q" and compare it to "ioscan -fnCtape".

If not, put a tape into the drive (one at a time) and access the tape. e.g. "diskinfo"

Hope this helps!

Torsten.
