STA path need to update after drive replacement

As an example of TS3200 LTO6 drives which we have in our infra

whenever we found any drive issue and after replacement of this drive we are getting new serial number and same we are updating on tsm server with below command

upd dr libraryname drivename serial=new serial number

after this most of the backups which runs with storage agent getting failed with below error
"storage media inaccessible" due to path mismatch

to solve this we are doing lot of manual efforts in aix OS
login to client which is having storage agent
remove old rmts using rmdev -Rdl rmt0
and then scan for new rmts using cfgmgr
then crosscheck these rmt`s defined on TSM Server

lscfg -vpl rmt* |grep -E "rmt*|Serial"
and update the storage agent path on TSM Server and restart dsmsta service
