Not sure what you mean here.

In the vtl script you sent me, you had the devices created exactly in the same order as it is generated with tgt-admin, i.e.:

tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode target --tid 4 -T iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.tape
tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode logicalunit --tid 4 --lun 1 -b /root/tapes/notape1 --device-type tape
# options here...
tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode logicalunit --tid 4 --lun 2 -b /root/tapes/notape2 --device-type tape
# options here...
tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode logicalunit --tid 4 --lun 3 -b /root/tapes/notape3 --device-type tape
# options here...
tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode logicalunit --tid 4 --lun 4 -b /root/smc --device-type changer
# options here...
