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,
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:

tcopy
tcopy(1) User Commands tcopy(1)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
