Tape Drive

[Guest_imported]

Hi

We have around 30+ machines connected to SAN and we would like to know how many tape drives are there on each machine.

When i give "mt -f /dev/rmt/0n status" it is contacting local system tape drive and also SAN which is making lot of network traffic. Can any one help me which command will give tape drive info only on local system without contacting
SAN.

Thx for great help.

Try

ls -l /dev/rmt/? | grep scsi

to look for locally attached drives, and

ls -l /dev/rmt/? | grep fibre

for SAN-attached drives. HTH.
