Did cfgmgr complain when being run? Did that DLPAR-action ie. assigning the controller with the attached tape drive to the LPAR show any complaints either?
Can you identify the SCSI controller with the tape drive using lsdev? Is lsdev showing any other type of tape drive but rmt that can be brought into relation to the SCSI controller (that you might have identified)?
Example:
You can only assign it, if it is on a separate SCSI controller which is not assigned to other LPARs. But if that was not the case, I assumed the HMC might have complained about it.
hi all ,
i have just installed solris 9 on a sun 280R ,and i have appleid the recommended patches .
after the installation i have found that /dev/rmt/ directory is empty , i thought that was normal , so i attached my DDS4 external tape drive and treid :

Hi.
After the shutdown for SWIFT Alliance Server, tape backup process will be done. Unfortunately, I encountered this error message when I performed the database tape backup. The error was "/dev/rmt 0.1 block size is 0; variable; must be 1024 fixed. Consider reconfiguration through 'chdev'... (2 Replies)
Hi Guys,
I a newbie in Unix environment. I need a help to detect my external SCSI tape drive. I tried with command drvconfig;devlinks;tapes.. but when I go to /dev/rmt/, the directory is still empty.
I also tried with add_drv -v st but I'm getting this message

Hi all,
Sometimes, when I reboot my AIX server, my tape drive /dev/rmt# assignments change. This creates some tedious TSM work prior to and after a reboot of the server.
Is there a way to ensure that the /dev/rmt# assignments come up the same every time?
Thanks (5 Replies)
Hi folks,
I am trying to learn Unix based in Linux...
In Linux, in /Dev are files related to cards, mouse, etc..
how about Unix?
What is the difference between /Dev and /Devices?
Thanks,

I have an HP Proliant DL380 with Intel Processors that I recently loaded Solaris 10 with latest patches on it. I'm trying to do a ufsdump to an HP DAT 40 tape drive via SCSI, but I can't get it to do anything because /dev/rmt is empty. I've tried the following with luck:

Hi,
In our HP-UX B.11.11. I could not find dev/urandom and dev/random
Are all pseudo-devices implemented as device drivers, or in need to run /configure some package to install the package to have dev/urandom.
Please help (4 Replies)

mptutil - Diagnostic utility for Ultra320 SCSI controllers and A7173A PCI-X Dual channel Host Bus Adapters
SYNOPSIS
[options] <device_file>
DESCRIPTION
The command is a diagnostic tool to be used for Ultra320 SCSI controllers claimed by the MPT driver. This command provides the ability to
retrieve various configuration information, perform firmware downloads, issue Task Management commands and read accumulated statistics of
the controller and connected target devices.
The utility can be used with various options with a specified device file. Each device file represents only a single channel on the SCSI
controller. Therefore, commands issued through this utility are channel specific and do not affect the whole adapter (except firmware
download).
Prerequisites:
You must be a privileged user in order to run the command. See privileges(5) for more information on privileged users. In addition, some
of the options are intended for use by HP support personnel and require detailed knowledge of the Ultra320 SCSI driver or firmware to
interpret the output.
OPTIONS
recognizes the following options. All keywords are case-sensitive and are position dependent.
<device_file> where specifies the MPT device file associated with one channel of the Ultra320 SCSI controller.
The device files are created at boot time or during Online Addition of an adapter. They have the name /dev/mptX, where X is
the instance number of the SCSI channel, as reported by for the MPT driver and the
When used without any options it provides information such as the Driver and Firmware version, Vendor ID, Device ID, Adapter
NVRAM size, Vital Product Data (VPD) along with the driver's current state.
The following driver states are defined:
This state indicates that the hardware has not been initialized by the driver. This state could result if the driver was
unable to successfully initialize the channel.
This state indicates that the controller initialization is complete. Driver is in the process of retrieving/setting various
configuration parameters.
This state indicates that driver is online and ready to perform normal SCSI I/O operation.
This state indicates that driver is currently performing Task Management commands such SCSI BUS RESET, ABORT TASK, BUS
DEVICE RESET etc.
This state indicates that driver has detected a controller fault and is currently recovering from that condition.
This state indicates that controller has been suspended by the user.
This option is used to display the PCI Configuration data stored on the
card. Information is displayed as hexadecimal data.
This option is used to download the MPT SCSI firmware onto the SCSI controller
that has an associated Flash ROM. The controller is specified by the argument. WARNING: This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation.
Active I/Os will be aborted. Should be used by qualified personnel only.
This option is used to perform Task Management commands. The option
specifies the command type. Two types of Task Management commands are currently supported.
Perform a Bus Device Reset on the device specified by the
Perform a SCSI Bus Reset. This will reset all the devices on the SCSI bus.

This option is used to upload the currently running firmware image to
