Operating Systems AIX "rmt0" is not a valid backing device - VIO Post 302472302 by dukessd on Tuesday 16th of November 2010 07:48:56 PM

Not by the looks of the lsdev output:

rmt0 Available 08-08-00-0,0 Other SCSI Tape Drive

The "Other" usually means the device is configured as a generic device because the correct driver is not loaded or the device is not recognised.
