Accurate SAN Mapping feature. For example, if a pre-Version 5.3 Tivoli Storage
Manager server is installed on AIX and path statements need to be set up for a
Windows-based Storage Agent, tsmdlst can be used to display the required
information and also generate a macro that can be used to synchronize paths
when devices change in the SAN and to update the offline paths.
Below we show how to update paths from the Storage Agent machine if a path
goes offline. Provided that the cause has been ascertained and resolved (for
example, fixing a damaged fiber), you may update the path in two steps, as
follows:
1. Generate the path file, which includes tape drive identification.
2. Apply the path file to make the offline paths online again.
We changed one of our Storage Agent paths to the offline state (see
Example 16-24).

Example 16-25 shows a path file generation on the Storage Agent. Essentially,
the file contains the tape drive names and their unique identification numbers,
such as serial and WWN numbers. The output is then saved to the C:\Program
Files\Tivoli\TSM\Console\tsmdlst_pathfile.txt file.
