Tape backup /dev/rmt/1m: No such device or address
Hi, we have a backup set up to tape in the cron that runs every night, however when we did a software update back in July it stopped functioning. In the cron logs, we see /dev/rmt/1m: No such device or address. I believe we had our tape drive replaced in october and they tested and were able to dump a file onto the tape.
when i run an ioscan -funC tape I have the following listed.
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=====================================================================
tape 1 0/0/1/0.2.0 stape CLAIMED DEVICE QUANTUM DLT8000
/dev/rmt/1m /dev/rmt/c0t2d0BEST
/dev/rmt/1mb /dev/rmt/c0t2d0BESTb
/dev/rmt/1mn /dev/rmt/c0t2d0BESTn
/dev/rmt/1mnb /dev/rmt/c0t2d0BESTnb
How can I verify if /dev/rmt/1m is the correct spot or not?
P.S. This thread has been moevd from Tape Libraries and Drives to HP-UX > sysadmin. - Hp Forum Moderator

Re: Tape backup /dev/rmt/1m: No such device or address
If you run ioscan with the -u option, it tells you about the devices the kernel is prepared to handle, not the actual state of the hardware. Try again without the -u option, i.e.:
# ioscan -fnC tape
This command may take quite a bit longer than with the -u option. That is normal.
