Here is an example from my pSeries 660 model 6H1 running AIX 5.2:

# lsdev -Cc tape | grep rmt1
rmt1 Available 21-08-00-5,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive

# lsdev -C | grep 21-08
rmt0 Available 21-08-00-4,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive
rmt1 Available 21-08-00-5,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive
scsi2 Available 21-08 Wide/Fast-20 SCSI I/O Controller

# lsslot -c pci | grep scsi2
U0.1-P1-I5 PCI 64 bit, 66MHz, 3.3 volt slot scsi2

rmt1 tape drive was wired to RIO #1 (U0.1), slot 5 (I5).

There were two tape drives (daisy-chained) with a single SCSI cable to
the host. So rmt1 is drive matching SCSI ID #5, and rmt0 is SCSI ID #4.
