The device names are actually /dev/rmt4, /dev/rmt5, /dev/rmt6, and /dev/rmt7
and I get the error for every one that is already busy when the Storage
agent connects and starts it's backups.

"/dev/rmt*" is a not a valid device name.

I have the Storage Agent running on two seperate servers. They are the
same
level 4.2.20 and are configured the same.

One of them is working great but the other is having problems mounting
tapes. It will attempt to mount a tape and if a drive is not available it
will generate a "server media mount not possible" error and go on to
another
file to back up.

The activity log shows "unable to open drive /dev/rmt*".

Did I miss something in the configuration?

Thanks!
