Sharing devices (tape drive) to local zone
I have to setup a local zone and need to share the fiber attached tape drive that is connected to the global zone.
What is the best way to do this? Will sharing the /dev/rmt directory via lofs work?
Any help is appreciated!

I'm building a new server that doesn't have an internal tape drive. It is running 5.3ML8. I have another server running 5.1ML9 that has an LTO1 drive I'd like to share.
Is this possible, or should I look into twin-tailing it, if that's even supported anymore. (0 Replies)

NAME
dev - Device name file system
DESCRIPTION
The dev filesystem manages the name spaces of devices under the Solaris operating environment. The global zone's instance of the dev
filesystem is mounted during boot on /dev.
A subdirectory under /dev may have unique operational semantics. Most of the common device names under /dev are created automatically by
devfsadm(1M). Others, such as /dev/pts, are dynamic and reflect the operational state of the system. You can manually generate device
names for newly attached hardware by invoking devfsadm(1M) or implicitly, by indirectly causing a lookup or readdir operation in the
filesystem to occur. For example, you can discover a disk that was attached when the system was powered down (and generate a name for that
device) by invoking format(1M)).
FILES
/dev Mount point for the /dev filesystem in the global zone.
SEE ALSO
devfsadm(1M), format(1M), devfs(7FS)
NOTES
The global /dev instance cannot be unmounted.
