Re: hwmgr in tru64
First the hardware model identification is read from the actual devices attached. This means that you should not mess with the database entries to change it.
I suspect that when you use hwmgr that you will now see more than 1 tape device. If not perform an scsi scan now, i.e. hwmgr -scan scsi. You should now see tape0 your original SDT-9000 and tape1 your new AIT-50 drive. If you want to continue using tape0 as the prefered device name you can swap the device names, i.e.
dsfmgr -e tape0 tape1.
Check this with hwmgr -view dev

Re: hwmgr in tru64
Also used the "hwmgr scan scsi" command,but it doesn't show the AIT-50.
but when we run "mt -f /dev/tape/tape2 status" command ,it gave something else.
So will I be able to use "dsfmgr -e tape0 tape2" command to solve my issue.
Thanks

Re: hwmgr in tru64
It also appears to me that your device database is not up to date. Try a grep for SDX in /etc/ddr.dbase
If the SDX-500C etc... entries are not found then you are not up to date and will need to install the appropriate NHD kit or patch kit.

Re: hwmgr in tru64
Please advice me about the NHD kit or related patch kit for SDX.

Re: hwmgr in tru64
What I suggest you do is hwmgr -v d | grep tape
then hwmgr -delete -id xxx for anything thats a tape.
hwmgr -show scsi should have no unconfigured devices.
Then hwmgr -scan scsi ; hwmgr -v d If you dont see the tape now its got connection issues. now dfsmgr -m tapeN tape0

Re: hwmgr in tru64
If this is on a parallel scsi bus, then you can simulate part of the hwmgr scan by using scu in an attempt to talk directly to the device:
# scu
scu> sbtl
scu> tur
scu> show inquiry
Is the tape a direct attach via parallel scsi, at what b/t/l, and what does the above commands return?

Re: hwmgr in tru64
Try checking that the AIT drive has a unique SCSI ID on the bus.
That would probably stop it from being seen...
