'devices.fcp.changer' is probably a generic message rather than an actual fileset.
cfgmgr is a bit like that, it will just guess a fileset name if it detects a device and cannot configure it.
you need to find out what the end device, rmt0, is and then contact the manufacturer for the AIX driver.
If it is an IBM drive then the Atape driver will probably do the job (google atape for more info). If it is a non-IBM drive then contact the manufacturer or search their web site for drivers.

Hi,
My situation is to write a backup script for AIX server which doesnt have a tape mounted.
They have created a folder on windows so that all AIX backup files can be moved to that windows folder where they will put these AIX backup files on a tape.
Appreciate help.

cfgmgr_set_status
cfgmgr_set_status(9r) cfgmgr_set_status(9r)
NAME
cfgmgr_set_status - General: Reports failure to the cfgmgr framework
SYNOPSIS
int cfgmgr_set_status(
char *driver_name );
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the name of the device driver for which you want to report an associated failure. This name is a string that matches the string
you specified for the entry_name item in the /etc/sysconfigtab database. Typically, third-party driver writers specify the driver name
(followed by a colon) in the sysconfigtab file fragment, which gets appended to the /etc/sysconfigtab database during the driver product
installation.
DESCRIPTION
The cfgmgr_set_status routine reports to the cfgmgr framework that a failure has occurred during static configuration. If the specified
device driver is in the static configuration state, it does not know that the configuration operation is complete until all register call-
back requests (routines) have successfully completed. Therefore, a device driver calls cfgmgr_set_status to report a possible failure dur-
ing static configuration to the cfgmgr framework.
Specifically, cfgmgr_set_status performs the following failure operations: Adjusts the state of the specified device driver Unconfigures
the specified device driver from the cfgmgr framework
The cfgmgr_set_status routine calls the device driver's configure routine at its CFG_OP_UNCONFIGURE entry point as part of these failure
operations. The code associated with the CFG_OP_UNCONFIGURE entry point is responsible for determining how to deallocate any allocated
resources during these failure operations.
The cfgmgr_set_status routine does not notify the operator of a configuration failure. Part of the code associated with the CFG_OP_UNCON-
FIGURE entry point could include an error logging operation to record the fact that a failure has occurred. The reason for doing this is
that the cfgmgr framework's task is to accomplish the unconfigure operation of a statically configured device driver.
You call the cfgmgr_set_status routine in the device driver's callback routine when the static configuration operation fails. You register
a callback routine by calling the register_callback routine.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, cfgmgr_set_status returns the value ESUCCESS. This success value indicates that cfgmgr_set_status adjusted the
state of the device driver and caused the cfgmgr framework to unconfigure the driver. Otherwise, cfgmgr_set_status returns one of the fol-
lowing error constants defined in /usr/sys/include/sys/sysconfig.h and /usr/sys/include/sys/errno.h: The device driver that you specified
in the driver_name argument does not exist. In this case, cfgmgr_set_status cannot adjust the state and unconfigure the device driver. The
device driver that you specified in the driver_name argument was not statically configured. The device driver that you specified in the
driver_name argument is not in the static configuration state.
EXAMPLES
See Writing Device Drivers: Tutorial for a code example of the cfgmgr_set_status interface.
