We use 3480 driver with Atape.driver from IBM and we can change the device
name from rmt1 to tape1 or whatever we want.

Subject: configuring FC-attached tape drives
We have a recently commisioned P650 with, to begin with,
two GB Fibre Channel Adapters (FC 6228) cabled directly to two 3590-H tape
drives.
I've been trying various permutations of mkdev ( see below ) so that we
can give these devices a specific name, rather than the default
rmt1 , rmt2 and so on.
Can anybody help here ? If I run cfgmgr the device comes back as rmt1
and the output of odmget -q"name=rmt1" CuDv is:
CuDv:
name = "rmt1"
status = 1
chgstatus = 0
ddins = "Atape"
location = "1n-08-01"
parent = "fscsi0"
connwhere = "1"
PdDvLn = "tape/fcp/3590"
but if I delete the device and issue the following I get the error msg
below:
mkdev -c 'tape' -t '3590' -s 'fcp' -p 'fscsi0' -l rmt14
Method error (/etc/methods/cfgAtape):
0514-022 The specified connection is not valid.
Any ideas - gratefully received
Thanks
