Question identifying Tape drives on Sun Servers

Hi,

Can you please help me to locate tape drives on Sun Server and the capacity of the tape drive.

I am managing a Sun 4u server.

Need this urgently.
Regards,
Vivek

Seems like the easiest way to determine the capcity of the drives would be to look at the device itself, DDS? etc. All the device files for your tape drives will be located in /dev/rmt/*

A detailed Info can be displayed with:

# iostat -En

This will display some info , for a DDS3 Drive something like:

HP DDS3 DAT

Now you now that your drive has a capacity of 12/24GB native/compressed.
