Tape drive not showing in SMH
We just migrated from an old PA-RISC system to a new rx2800 running 11iv3. I'm trying to get used to the System Management Homepage for general admin tasks. When attempting to do a test backup or restore, the external Ultrium tape is not shown in the device list. I'm looking under Home/System Configuration/Disks and File Systems/Backup and Recovery. Under the 'Device File' drop down list all I see are options for /dev/rtape/tape2_BEST, although the 'Device Description' field shows 'HP Ultrium 4-SCSI'. The nightly backup jobs scheduled through CRON are working, so the device drivers are installed properly. Can anyone tell me how to make the drive show up in SMH?
Thanks,
Joe

Hey folks,
Linux admin here, forced to use Opensolaris to try to use ufsdump/ufsrestore to get some data of some old tapes.
I've got Opensolaris 2009.06 on x86 and a Sony SDX-700V.
As a "control" experiment, I booted the system with a Linux live CD and the tape drive worked perfectly.

NAME
butc_logs - Message logs from the Tape Coordinator process
DESCRIPTION
The Backup System Tape Coordinator (butc) process generates two log files per device, one for error messages and one for actions.
Error Message Log
The TE_device_name file logs error messages generated by the Backup System Tape Coordinator that controls the tape device or backup data
file indicated by device_name.
As the Tape Coordinator initializes, it creates the file in ASCII format in the /var/lib/openafs/backup directory. If there is an existing
file, the Tape Coordinator renames it to TE_device_name.old>, overwriting the existing TE_device_name.old> file if it exists.
For a tape device, the Tape Coordinator derives the variable device_name portion of the filename from the device pathname listed in the
local /var/lib/openafs/backup/tapeconfig file, by stripping off the initial "/dev/" string and replacing any other slashes in the name with
underscores. For example, the filename for a device called /dev/rmt/4m is TE_rmt_4m. Similarly, for a backup data file the Tape Coordinator
strips off the initial slash ("/") and replaces any other slashes in the name with underscores. For example, the filename for a backup data
file called /var/tmp/FILE is TE_var_tmp_FILE.
The messages in the file describe the error and warning conditions the Tape Coordinator encounters as it operates. For instance, a message
can list the volumes that are inaccessible during a dump operation, or warn that the Tape Coordinator is overwriting a tape or backup data
file. The messages also appear in the /var/lib/openafs/backup/TL_device_name file, which traces most of the Tape Coordinator's actions.
Action Log
The TL_device_name file logs the actions performed by the Backup System Tape Coordinator that controls the tape device or backup data file
indicated by device_name. It also records the same error and warning messages written to the TE_device_name file.
As the Tape Coordinator initializes, it creates the file in ASCII format in the /var/lib/openafs/backup directory. If there is an existing
file, the Tape Coordinator renames it to TL_device_name.old, overwriting the existing TL_device_name.old file if it exists.
For a tape device, the Tape Coordinator derives the variable device_name portion of the filename from the device pathname listed in the
local /var/lib/openafs/backup/tapeconfig file, by stripping off the initial "/dev/" string and replacing any other slashes in the name with
underscores. For example, the filename for a device called /dev/rmt/4m is TL_rmt_4m. Similarly, for a backup data file the Tape Coordinator
strips off the initial slash ("/") and replaces any other slashes in the name with underscores. For example, the filename for a backup data
file called /var/tmp/FILE is TL_var_tmp_FILE.
