Inquire command show tapes as disk

[Masternet]

Hi:
I have a instalation with 1 NW Server and 9 Snodes 7.3.3 on linux (all server are RHES 3). A tape library is atatched to SAN with 4 drive LTO-3 and DDS is enabled. The tape library is DELL ML6020.

Some SNODE show tape device as disk device if I run inquire command :
scsidev@2.2.0: |Disk, /dev/nst0
scsidev@2.3.0: |Disk, /dev/nst1
scsidev@2.4.0: |Disk, /dev/nst2
scsidev@2.5.0: |Disk, /dev/nst3

If I run cat/proc/scsi/scsi |grep IBM command, I see:
Vendor: IBM Model: ULTRIUM-TD3 Rev: 6B20
Vendor: IBM Model: ULTRIUM-TD3 Rev: 6B20
Vendor: IBM Model: ULTRIUM-TD3 Rev: 64D0
Vendor: IBM Model: ULTRIUM-TD3 Rev: 6B20


Why Inquire show disk device? How I fix this?
Thank's
Gabriel.

How comes that you interprete "/dev/nst" as a disk device name? -

n no rewind
st tape device

For more infos about device names, please look here, for example:
