Serial Number for tape drives

[Wondering]

Hi,
I'm wondering what is the command in HP-UX to display the WWN / serial number of a tape drive? Commands such as # tdlist, and selecting the tape drive in # mstm doesn't seem to show that information.

P/N: In order to list the tape drives, what I did was # ioscan -fnC tape. Now I would like to obtain the WWN / serial number of these tape drives.

Thanks!

Hi,
I don't think you can get the serial number of tape drives via software.
Either physically check the tape drives and/or check your support documents.

Hi Wondering..
I think there is no way to know tape drive's serial number and WWN at online.
To check the S/N just pull the tape driver from Tape Array 5300, and then check S/N.
After check push it to Tape Array, and type this command
# ioscan -fnC tape
# insf
# ioscan -funC tape

Have a nice day...

If you do an ioscan -fnctape you will get the H/W path.

Then do ioscan -H , this will reveal the fibre channel in my case it was /dev/fcd1

then do fcmsutil /dev/fcd1 and I was told that the N_Port Port World Wide Name = xxx.

This I was told was the WWN of our new tape drive.
