I am looking at moving tape drive around in an IBM 3584. The main frame has 12 slots. I believe the WWN name as seen by the fabric is determined by the slot position. Mainly, because the consecutive nature of the numbering. I assume changing/mixing slots the WWN changes? Are there any problems with having the first slots 1-4 empty? The IBM 3584 TS3500 Tape Library Model L53 is a base frame designed for IBM TS1030 LTO Ultrium Fibre Channel Tape Drives and LTO data cartridges.
