hidden:Adding and deleting a tape drive

Add a new drive in HPSS

1. zone drive in SAN accordingly(contact SAN admins)

2. scan all tape drives on the mover
        Example:
        [root@hpssmvr01 ~]# sg_map -st -x -i| grep nst
        /dev/sg145  4 0 0 0  1  /dev/nst0  IBM       03592E07          398B
        /dev/sg146  3 0 0 0  1  /dev/nst1  IBM       03592E07          398B
        /dev/sg148  5 0 0 0  1  /dev/nst2  STK       T10000D           4.08

3.there should be a link for every drive in /dev/hpss
       Example:
       [root@hpssmvr01 ~]# ls -l /dev/hpss
       total 0
       lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jul 28 14:57 pci-0000:1b:00.0-fc-0x5005076300520441-lun-1-1IBM_03584L22_0000078143560401 -> ../sg147
       lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jul 28 14:57 st.1b.0-03592E07-0000078DB21A -> ../nst1
       lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jul 28 14:57 st.1b.1-03592E07-0000078DB1E5 -> ../nst0
       lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jul 28 14:57 st.86.0-T10000D-579004003070 -> ../nst2
