Reassigning device instance numbers for tape devices on page192

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:
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.
