Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows: Administrator's Guide


Obtaining Alias Names for Devices

If you use the TSM Device Configuration Wizard to initially configure devices, this step is unnecessary because the wizard gathers information about the SCSI Target IDs, logical unit numbers, bus numbers, and SCSI port numbers required for the alias names. However, if you add devices using TSM commands, you must provide the information in the DEFINE DRIVE command. To determine the SCSI properties for a device:

  1. From the TSM Console, expand the tree to TSM Device Driver for the machine that you are configuring.
  2. Expand TSM Device Driver and Reports.
  3. Click Device Information. The Device Information view appears. The view lists all devices connected to the TSM Server and lists their SCSI attributes in the form of the TSM alias names.

See Device Alias Names for Tivoli Storage Manager for an overview of TSM device names.
