Operating Systems Linux SuSE Tape Loader Device /dev/sgN is altering after each reboot Post 302355925 by xunil321 on Thursday 24th of September 2009 05:39:47 AM

Tape Loader Device /dev/sgN is altering after each reboot

Dear all,
we are running SLES 11 where an iscsi tape library is
attached. To load the tape in a slot we are using for
instance the command #mtx -f /dev/sg1 load 2 which is doing
very well.
But after a server's reboot the device name of the loader is now
/dev/sg4 or /dev/sg5 I mean it is dynamic. Is there any way to
have a fixed device name for all times?

THX for any solution!
Rainer

NAME
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
