this is the case, you will need to use the search command to list the devices on the HBA the tape drive is connected to. See your system’s Operations Guide for details on the search command.

A third way to find the EFI device path is to use the tape drive’s hardware path as a map to it. The ioscan -fkeCtapecommand will list the hardware path of the tape drive.

For our example, the hardware path is 0/1/1/1.4.0

Use the following diagram to map the hardware path to the EFI device path:

Reboot your system and stop the process at the EFI menu before it times-out, as shown in the figure below. Notice the last line warns that reboot will occur after the remaining seconds expire.
