Connect external Tape drive
I've connected an external tape drive to an HP-UX 10.20 server. With ioscan -funCtape I see that the system has detected this tape drive:
ioscan -funCtape
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description

tape 0 56/52.0.0 tape2 CLAIMED DEVICE HP HP35470A

/dev/rmt/1mn /dev/rmt/c0t4d0BESTnb
/dev/rmt/1mnb
I try to run tar -cvf /dev/rmt/1m /apl*
and I always get the error message:
tar: cannot open /dev/rmt/1m
What could be the problem?

Re: Connect external Tape drive
Schneider,
The ARCHIVE Python 25588-XXX is an autochanger, correct? Is there a tape actually loaded into the tape drive? Write enabled?
live free or die

Re: Connect external Tape drive
Try the command
# mt -f filename rew
to see if the drive is seen that way.
Perhaps something is wrong with the device files. Try removing them and then recreating them (mknod or SAM).
