I think we have a tape drive going bad(its really acting flaky now
preventing good backups hence my last email).
But almost everytime I do a boot -r (reconfigure), on the box, the OS
sometimes decideds to increment the device in /dev/rmt. Meaning. Just
yestereday it was /dev/rmt/5, now after a boot -r, it is /dev/rmt/6. Its
done this before which is why I was up to 5 to begine with.
So. Other than the drive going bad, is there away I can make it NOT do this?
Or at least make it reset back down to 1? I was thinking I could probably
boot to single user mode, remove the contents of /dev/rmt, and then do a
touch reconfigure, or boot -r from Openboot to rebuild the tree from
scratch.
Will that work?
Using Solaris 2.6(latest patches as of about 5 months ago) on an Ultra 2
with about 20 disks hanging off it(our heavily abused machine)
Thanks
