Updating path information for TSM

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 15:11:31 +0000

As I did some switching today (between the new lin_tape version by IBM and our own lin_tape version), I ended up writing those lines a dozen times. Here is (just for me, if you don’t care .. skip ahead) on how to generate a list of commands:

1
2
3
4
5
6


for i in $( seq -w 1 32 ); do
 token="${i/0/}"
 path_prefix="/dev/lt/IBMtape12245775"
 echo "DELETE PATH TSM1 VTL1_DR$i SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE LIBRARY=VTL1"
 echo "DEFINE PATH TSM1 VTL1_DR$i SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE LIBRARY=VTL1 DEVICE=$path_prefix$((token+11))A1"
done

which should get you a list like this:
