IBM tapes

[ossupport55]

Gurus,

I need to have a persistant binding of my tape devices seen through lin_tape module. Tapes are
seen in /proc/scsi/IBMtape in the format :

cat /proc/scsi/IBMtape
lin_tape version: 1.24.0
lin_tape major number: 252
Attached Tape Devices:

0 ULT3580-TD4 0007869081 lpfc NA
1 ULT3580-TD4 0007868953 lpfc NA

17 ULT3580-TD4 0007869040 lpfc NA
18 ULT3580-TD4 0007869554 lpfc NA

and /sys/class/lin_tape/IBMtape1

scsi_id does not give the serial. How do i get the persistant binding?

cheers
