I've presented some Ultrium-4 drives via SAN to hp-ux server. All have to types of SDF
/dev/rmt/DDxxY and /dev/rmt/cXyXtXBESTX
But one has only /dev/rmt/cXyYtZ
I tried
1) Disable/enable port of that drive on SAN switch and ioscan/insf -e
2) rm SDF and ioscan/insf -e
3) rmsf and ioscan/insf -e
But still SDF /dev/rmt/DDxxY did not apear. What I can do else?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Problem with device files of tape drive
shutdown the drives manually.
Restart them again and try re-creating all the device files again with insf.
Regards,
jaime.

Re: Problem with device files of tape drive
What is the output of "ioscan -fC tape" ? Are your tapedrives listed ? And what instance numbers do they have ? Maybe they reused older instance numbers, and therefor reused older existing devicefiles ?

Re: Problem with device files of tape drive
ioscan -fCtape show all ten drives as claimed devices of class tape and driver stape. Instance numbers are not crossed and not reused - just this one drive lacks device files /dev/rmt/DDxx, according to its instance number it should be /dev/rmt/12m(n) - but theese files do on exist.
