I have a problem with my tape drive.
When I do an ioscan тАУfnC tape the device was showing up but there was no device files showing
ie.
/dev/rmt/0m
/dev/rmt/0mn
etc..
so I ran the command insf тАУevC tape which changed the output of ioscan but now the /dev/rmt/1m
/dev/rmt/1mn
etc..
how can I get the system to see /dev/rmt/0m as this is what I need for backup scripts that I use to write to tape?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: insf question?

Re: insf question?
The device files created by insf are as the system sees the devices through the corresponding path, thus when you ran insf the device files for tape drive as seen by the system were created - depending on the path - even though I believe that the 1st tape device usually is named as /dev/rmt/0m etc.
But now the only solution I can see is to modify the scripts to point to this device.

Re: insf question?
The number of de /dev/rmt... is the number of de Instance.
Try make the file yourself with:
mksf -I
view man mksf for help
best regards

Re: insf question?
Did you changed something? The drive or the port connected to or just the SCSI ID?
You may remove the tape dependend device files and run insf again.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.
