Peter, it may be that the target/luns of your tape drives are beyond
what your OS is configured to "see".  That's not the end of the world,
but it will take some time.  The NBU Device Management manual should
discuss this in detail and how to remedy the situation.

What's your "sgscan tape" and "sgscan changer" output look like?

What's in your /etc/devlink.tab file?

Hi,

I am able to see it with the "mt" command. To be honest I am not sure
what I
am looking for in /dev. The entries in /dev/rmt were re-created. The
only
files modified in /dev from around the time I started this process are:

rmt
sg
fb -> /devices/pci@1f,4000/TSI,gfxp@5:gfxp0
.devfsadm_synch_door
.devfsadm_dev.lock
.devlink_db
fd

Thanks again,

Pete Akre

Hi,

After the reboot, can you see it with, "mt -f /dev/rmt/xxx status" etc ?
Did the /dev files get recreated ?
