Abstract
Serial number based storage device allocation is disclosed. A serial number associated with the storage device is mapped to a device file associated with the storage device on a host having a connection to the storage device. The serial number is mapped to a device address by which the storage device is known to a library with which the storage device is associated. A request requiring that an available storage device be allocated to service the request is received. The storage device is allocated, based at least in part on the serial number to device file and serial number to device address mappings, to service the request.
