the name c2t1d1 or whatever refers to the scsi address of the device (the controller,target,and device). You cannot rename it, but you can make a link. Something like:

ln -s /dev/rmt/c2t1d1 /dev/tape4mm


So that you could then refer to the device as /dev/tape4mm. Choose whatever name you think is appropriate. It is usually best to keep the link in /dev
