Hi joerg,
How are you?
Thanks for your willingness to help me out to sort out this problem.
I followed your guideline but still seeing empty /dev/rmt/
# rm /dev/rmt/*
/dev/rmt/*: No such file or directory
#
# drvconfig
# tapes
# cd /dev/rmt
# ls -a
. ..
#
This is from OBP prompt.
setenv auto-boot? false
auto-boot? = false
ok probe-scsi-all
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@2,1
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@2
ok
And, this is output from prtdiag -v command

Hi all,
Sometimes, when I reboot my AIX server, my tape drive /dev/rmt# assignments change. This creates some tedious TSM work prior to and after a reboot of the server.
Is there a way to ensure that the /dev/rmt# assignments come up the same every time?
Thanks (5 Replies)

tcopy - copy a magnetic tape SYNOPSIS
tcopy source [destination] DESCRIPTION
The tcopy utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end. When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a des- tination is specified, tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro- duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape. The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example, example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b ATTRIBUTES
