Does the device show up in /proc/scsi/scsi?

My Dell PV 132T shows up as the following:

$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi 
Attached devices:

Assuming the it's the first library found by the system, what does
# mtx -f /dev/sg0 status
show?

# mtx -f /dev/sg0 status
  Storage Changer /dev/sg0:1 Drives, 22 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
  Data Transfer Element 0:Empty
        Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=000046                          
        Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=000047
