How To Check World Wide Port Names (WWPN) of Tape Drives Attached to Linux host

Use the command ‘cat /proc/scsi/scsi‘ to check attached scsi devices. Below example shows IBM Ultrium generation 6 (LTO-6) Tape Drives attached to this Linux system.

# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi10 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: IBM      Model: ULT3580-TD6      Rev: F9A0
  Type:   Sequential-Access                ANSI  SCSI revision: 06
Host: scsi3 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: IBM      Model: ULT3580-TD6      Rev: F9A0
  Type:   Sequential-Access                ANSI  SCSI revision: 06
# yum install sg3_utils
# sg_map -i -x

Command ‘systool’ shows WWPN of Tape Devices attached to Linux System. Command ‘systool’ requires the libsysfs and sysfsutils packages to be installed. You need to install them first if they are not installed.

# yum install libsysfs
# yum install sysfsutils
# systool -c fc_transport -v
