HP SSL1016 Tape Autoloader - cannot see tape device in ioscan
I have a rp7420 11iv1 box connected to a HP SSL1016 Tape Autoloader. It has a single LTO2 drive with 16 slots.
I have HP dataprotector for backups. When i started the backup i saw that it uses the device /dev/rmt/4mn for backup.
However i cannot see the same tape device in the ioscan output on the server.
#ll /dev/rmt/*mn

#mt -f /dev/rmt/4mn status

The backups run properly.
I wonder why i can't see the device /dev/rmt/4mn in ioscan output.
Can somebody clarify

Re: HP SSL1016 Tape Autoloader - cannot see tape device in ioscan
If you then manually change *anything*, the problems may be worst.
Have a look at your 0m device ;-))
I would consider to delete them all and re-create. Notice - you will need to adjust DP after this.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.
