Re: [Networker] inquire cannot see tape devices but Solaris OS can

Try to see if there is a reservation on the rmt device
I had the problem once (NDMP did not released correctly some drives after
problems) and to solve it, we used :
+ mt -f /dev/rmt/1cbn forcereserve
+ mt -f /dev/rmt/1cbn release
You could also find more information with /usr/sbin/cdi_* commands like :
cdi_inq
cdi_get_status ...
You also have cdi_release or cdi_reserve (cf man ...)

Hello,
can you try inquire -l, which scans all scsi interfaces and let us know the
results ?
Hope this helps.
