I don't think you need to reserve a SCSI address for the streams device 10,
there is no point.
Perhaps you had an actual disk on ldev 11 in the past, but not now. If
there is no device, reuse the SCSI address and ldev !
If you have disk arrays, you need to reserve a SCSI address for the
controller. Mine is zero I believe.
Not sure the proper tape drive strings - have you tried the same as ldev 7
below ?

I infer from this that:
LDEV 1 has SCSI address 6 PATH: 56/52.6.0 LDEV: 1
LDEV 2 has SCSI address 5 PATH: 56/52.5.0 LDEV: 2
LDEV 3 has SCSI address 4 PATH: 56/52.4.0 LDEV: 3
LDEV 4 has SCSI address 3 PATH: 56/52.3.0 LDEV: 4
LDEV 6 has SCSI address 8 PATH: 56/52.8.0
LDEV 7 has SCSI address 0 PATH: 56/52.0.0 LDEV: 7
LDEV 10 has SCSI address 9 PATH: 56/52.9.0
LDEV 11 has SCSI address 2 PATH: 56/52.2.0 LDEV: 11
LDEV 6 has SCSI address 8 but no physical device - This is the default
system
printer
LDEV 10 has SCSI address 9 but no physical device - this is used for JOB
streaming I believe
LDEV 11 has SCSI address 2 but no physical device - unknown why this is even
configured
No device is assigned SCSI address 1.
No device is assigned SCSI address 7.
LDEVs 4 and 11 (The HP UPS is long gone) do not exist so I believe that I
can
configure these devices as external DAT drives or at least delete them and
use
the bus addresses 2 and 3 for the external devices with whatever unused LDEV
numbers I choose.
I am considering removing LDEV4 and LDEV 11 and in their place configuring
LDEV
8 and LDEV 9 as:
LDEV: 8 DEVNAME: OUTDEV: 0 MODE:
ID: HPC1537A RSIZE: 128 DEVTYPE: TAPE

CLASS: TAPE
Are my speculations correct? Which is the correct way to configure external
DAT drive models: C15560 and C5687A? Neither of these are listed in
IODFAULT.PUB.SYS.
