Re: How to initialize /dev/rmt/0 without rebooting the server
You need to shutdown the server to perform this activity. There is no hot-swappable tape drive available. After replacing the drive , check with ioscan that it sees the drive, and check with mt command and check with a test backup with tar.
Cheers,
Raj.

1) Connect the tape drive and turn it on
2) ioscan -fnC tape
3) insf -e
4) ioscan -funC tape (to check the device file)

Re: How to initialize /dev/rmt/0 without rebooting the server
In any event, you should be able to do this "on the fly" by:
1) Make sure that your SCSI bus will be properly terminated both before and after your tape drive install.
2) Install the tape drive with the drive powered off.
3) Power on the tape drive.
4) ioscan -fn
5) insf
