Unable to detect external tape drive in HPUX

Hi,

#mt -f /dev/rmt/c2t3d0BEST rew
By this command i am able to rew and remove the tape from tape drive.

Your old tape was configured with scsi id 5, the new has 3.

I would remove any device files for the old and new drive, e.g. with

# rmsf -H 10/0/15/0.5.0

and recreate them

# insf -e

All tape related commands are using the ...0m... device as default, so you don't need to specify it (e.g. tar).

If you use another device, you must specify it, unless you configure your new tape to be 0m.
