Hi member,



I am new in AIX and would like to know does the HP Surestore DAT24e tape
drive work in AIX.



The tape drive is working in NT. It is because I want to set up a tape
drive for my AIX box. However, it does not work. I have upgrade the
firmware into the latest version.



I have the following info for all of you.

#lsdev -Cc tape

rmt0 Available 10-80-00-4,0 Other SCSI Tape Drive



#tar -cvf /dev/rmt0

tar: /dev/rmt0: A system call received a parameter that is not valid.



#mksysb -i /dev/rmt0

0512-017 mksysb: Cannot write to the device /dev/rmt0.

Either write protect or in use.



Please advice.
