Most likely not the correct device id for the 51E which is likely an
Ultra-60 workstation that has 2 scsi controllers instead of 1.
Try using device id "/dev/rmt/0cb" or "/dev/rmt/1cb". If you are running a
fairly recent I/A release,
Try running "find_tape". That will give you the correct device id
For the tape drive.

Subject: [foxboro] Tape drive problem
Hi all,
We have one tape drive DDS3 attached with our AW51E. Recently I have found
that tape drive is not working. I changed the drive with a new tape drive
and rebooted the AW but the problem is same. I checked the power and SCSI
cable connections and found them o.k. The Tape drive hard ID is 5. The tape
drive is visible by running probe-scsi-all command at ok prompt.
I checked /dev directory for rst5 and rst9 both of them are there. I run the
command
'add_periphs' in VT100, the command executed successfully but when I try to
tar some files in the tape using
tar cvf /dev/rst9 /opt/menus/d1/*
it returns the following message
tar: /dev/rst9: No such device or address
Is this a software problem? If any one have the idea, kindly advise.
Rgds,
