tar command says "No such device or address
So now can anybody offer some help ?
I also repeat the second part of my question...
Can anybody indicate what could be the error, and how to re-create the device file /dev/rmt/0m that tar refers to by default...? because my "mksf" only creates the file /dev/rmt/c#t#dBEST
I even tried to re-build the device file in /dev/rmt/c#t#dBEST and I can see all the usual files /dev/rmt/0m
/dev/rmt/0mn
/dev/rmt/0mnb
etc.,
Thanks in advance....

Re: tar command says "No such device or address
try running # ioscan -fnC tape and verify the device file with the actual device.

Re: tar command says "No such device or address
If the device is CLAIMED and the device file does not exist, you can create it through SAM.
man mksf for specific instructions (see examples) on how to create tape files manually.

Re: tar command says "No such device or address
1. Create /dev/rmt/0m manually - use the major and minor numbers from the tape device you want as your "default" tape unit. You can use mknod for this.
2. Hard link /dev/rmt/0m to the desired tape device.
3. Symbolic link /dev/rmt/0m to the desired tape device.
Good luck

Re: tar command says "No such device or address
That error typically means the tape device is either not attached or not loaded with media. Run 'ioscan -fnC tape' to be sure the system can indeed see the device. If the device comes up OK in the ioscan output, then make sure the device is loaded with media. Also, amke sure the device is supported and that you have the proper tape patch for the device.
