Hi all, I have solaris 10 sparc running and working very well but i have problem with external SCSI tape drive DAT 72 problem it seems to me the tape drive is manufactured by SUN microsystems when i ran mt -f /dev/rmt/0 status it reveals the following output

bash-3.00#  mt -f /dev/rmt/0 status
/dev/rmt/0: No such file or directory

when i ran ls -l it reveals the following output

ls -l /dev/rmt/0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          43 Sep 20  2006 /dev/rmt/0 -> ../../devices/pci@8,600000/scsi@1,1/st@3,0:

it seems to me everything is okay SCSI cable is connected properly to Tape device and to server as well the tape has SCSI termination dongle as well and connected properly to Tape device as well any ideas would be a great assist Thanks in advance
