Re: tape drive issue
actually it's strange.
Just a last suggestion:
rmsf -H 0/6/1/1.3.0
ioscan -fnCtape
insef -e -H 0/6/1/1.3.0
ioscan -fnCtape
Please take commands exactly in this sequence.
If you still don't see special files, consider that you can create it manually by mknod:
cd /dev/rmt
mknod 0m c 205 0xXXYYYY
where 205 is the major number that you see from lsdev | grep stape (I suppose it's 205) and where 0xXXYYYY is the same minor number of special file c2t3d0BEST.
Then
mknod 0mn c 205 0xXXYYYY
wher this time 0xXXYYYY is the same minor number of c2t3d0BESTn.
Then
mknod 0mb c 205 0xXXYYYY
wher this time 0xXXYYYY is the same minor number of c2t3d0BESTb.
Then
mknod 0mnb c 205 0xXXYYYY
wher this time 0xXXYYYY is the same minor number of c2t3d0BESTnb.
HTH.
Best regards,
Fabio

Solutionmv /dev/rmt/c2t3d0BEST /dev/rmt/0m
mv /dev/rmt/c2t3d0BESTn /dev/rmt/0mn
mv /dev/rmt/c2t3d0BESTb /dev/rmt/0mb
mv /dev/rmt/c2t3d0BESTnb /dev/rmt/0mnb
In the past, I had written up the whole procedure (attached) to create device files that looked the way you wanted them, but then found it that a simple rename would accomplish the same thing with a lot less effort.

Re: tape drive issue
lssf /dev/rmt/* | grep '???'
All the DSFs returned by that command can be removed, and then re-run your insf and you should see the correct DSFs appear.
