Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Administrator's Guide


Obtaining Alias Names for Devices

For administrators using 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, administrators adding devices using TSM commands must provide the information in the DEFINE DRIVE command. Administrators modifying device driver control may need to provide alias name information in the Device Exclude List. To determine the SCSI properties for a device:

  1. Click Device Information IconDevice Information in the TSM Server Utilities tree view. The Device Information view appears.
  2. The Device Information view lists all devices connected to the TSM Server and lists their SCSI attributes in the form of the TSM alias names.

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