Assistance for creating device files

[ITeam]

We had a HP engingeer out yesterday to replace a DLT drive that was faulty. The engineer removed the external unit and connected the replacement without powering off the D class server. If I do "ioscan" it shows the new drive but without the device file and the old drive with a device file and listed as "NO_HW". We have now rebooted the server and the old drive has now gone but the device file for the new drive has still not been created.
The entry under "ioscan" is

target 11 8/12.2 tgt CLAIMED DEVICE
tape 2 8/12.2.0 stape CLAIMED DEVICE QUANTUM DLT8000

Could anyone assist me with the mknod creation of the device file.

Many thanks, Graeme.

Use:
insf -e -C tape
to create device files for tape devices.

Did you try this:

# insf -e

Set the SCSI ID same as of the older device.

Hi,

Use

#insf -e -C tape -H 8/12.2.0

Use the previous SCSI ID for the new drive.
