Tip:

     Use Smit (Devices menu, ADSM Devices) to get the command string.  You
     can use Smit to create it of run the command yourself.  We usually run
     the command manually so we can name the devices like we want to.  For
     example if you have multiple tape drives, you can name the ADSM device
     similar to the raw device (i.e. /dev/rmt1 for raw, /dev/mt1 for ADSM).

According to the manual, the device name needs to be /dev/mt0, not /dev/rmt0
Can someone enlighten me as to how to accomplish this.
So far I have created a block device using mknod and using the the same
major and minor
numbers as the character device but ADSM will not recognize this as a valid
device.
