Tape drive problems

Recently we had a problem with a CPU card on our SunFire V880 which has Solaris 9 OS. we removed the card and there was also a problem with our usr which was accidentally deleted. We able to restore the usr but now we having a problem with our tape drive.
Previously we could write to the with
tar cvf /dev/rmt/0n
and could even issue commands like
mt rewind
mt -f /dev/rmt/0n fsf 2
Now when we issuue those command we get messages like
/dev/rmt/0n: no such file or directory

A look at the /dev/rmt/0n reveals that files which previously were similar to 0 0n 0cb 0n ......
are now been changed to 2 2n 2cb 2n.....
and we can only tar with /dev/rmt/2n and cannot issue the mt command.
What's gone gone wrong and how can get back our mt command working together with the /dev/rmt/0n option.
