Yes, after running the command reboot -- -r I could see now the creation of new devpath /dev/rmt/1cbn, and through the netbackup software i reconnected the missing path to this one. Things are ok so far and the backup started as expected.

I realy appreciate your help.

I have another request collegues.

I am interested to replace a faulty hard disk which is not mirorred. it is containing ex ./dev/vx/rdsk/Vol1 file system.

But i have some ideas in my mind and I wish if you can correct me if wrong

1- backup the files system using ufsdump utility to a tape
ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0m /Vol1
2- umount the file system
3- Replace the faulty hard disk.
4- create new file system on the new hard disk
newfs /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0
5- Mount /Vol1 on the ne file system.
mount /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 /Vol1
6- Restore from backup.
ufsrestore -rvf /dev/rmt/0m

Are these steps correct particularly point no 4.?

mkdevalloc

mkdevalloc(1M)						  System Administration Commands					    mkdevalloc(1M)

NAME

       mkdevalloc - Make device_allocate entries

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/mkdevalloc

DESCRIPTION

       The mkdevalloc command writes to standard out a set of device_allocate(4) entries describing the system's frame buffer, audio and removable
       media devices.

       The mkdevalloc command is used by the init.d(4) scripts to create or update the /etc/security/device_allocate file.

       Entries are generated based on the device special files found in /dev. For the different categories  of	devices,  the  mkdevalloc  command
       checks for the following files under /dev:

	 audio		 /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/...
	 tape		 /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/...
	 floppy 	 /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd*
	 removable disk  /dev/sr*, /dev/nsr*, /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s?
	 frame buffer	 /dev/fb

       All  entries  set  the  device-minimum  and device-maximum fields to the hex representations of ADMIN_LOW and ADMIN_HIGH, respectively. The
       device-authorization field is set to solaris.device.allocate, except for the framebuffer entry, where it is  set  to  *.  The  device-name,
       device-type and device-clean fields are set to the following values:

			 device-name	  device-type	device-clean

	 audio		 audio		  audio 	audio_clean_wrapper
	 tape		 mag_tape_0,1,... st		st_clean
	 floppy 	 floppy_0,1,...   fd		disk_clean
	 removable disk  cdrom_0,1,...	  sr		disk_clean
	 frame buffer	 framebuffer	  fb		/bin/true
