need /dev/rmt directory

[Brad Beard]

I have a box with a /dev directory but no rmt directory. I need to access the tape drive (/dev/rmt/0m). I have another box that has this directory. Can I copy the directory and contents over to this box? If not, how do I get a /dev/rmt directory?

Thanks.

Brad,

do insf -e -H

That will recreate the device files

Try to reboot the machine with the tape attached to it (and on) the system should create automatically the /dev/rmt file

This is the only box that did not create the /dev/rmt directory upon boot with the tape drive hooked up and turned on. The following command did not work:
insf -e -H
But it did work without the -H option.
Thank you for your help.
