when you connect again the device ¿ is the same Hardware Address ?

A workaorund is scan hardware tape, configure a vrbl with tape number and use this vrbl in make_recovery command

variable, sorry, my english is very bad

example:

tape=`ioscan -fnk -H |awk {'print $2'} |grep -v /dev/rmt|tail -1`

make_recovery -a /dev/rmt/${tape}mn
