Troubleshooting tape drives

Use the following procedures to troubleshoot tape drives:

●Checking tape status

●Reassigning device instance numbers for tape devices on page 192

Checking tape status

For many procedures, you must identify what tape drive, by device path, you will use for the procedure. Tape drives are assigned to particular device paths, usually one of the following:

●/dev/rmt/0

●/dev/rmt/0c

●/dev/rmt/1

●/dev/rmt/1c

Note:

The letter c at the end of the device name indicates that the tape device can operate in compressed mode. Avaya recommends that you use compressed mode at all times.
