I attempt to run:
dtype /dev/rStp0
At the command prompt I get:
"/dev/rStp0 No such device or address"
I run:
ls -l /dev/rStp0 & I get:
crw-rw---- 5 root root 46, 0 Jan 22 02:34 /dev/rStp0
I run:
hwconfig -h & I get:
Stp-0 - - - Vendor=SEAGATE Product=DAT 06240-XXX

In X Win I get a window stating that the SCSI device is offline.
How can I access this tape drive w/o re-booting the server? At this point even if I have to re-boot?
