You should now be able to use the drive.
• Use /dev/rmt/Kcb if you require a compression rewind device file, where K is the relevant
device file instance.
• Use /dev/rmt/Kcbn when you require a compression non-rewind device.
Once the device files have been created, you should confirm that your new tape drive is working
properly.

Indicates the format of the following parameters.
The value for an LTO drive in /usr/include/sys/mtio.h. The value
0x3B
0x3B indicates a type of MT_LTO.
Indicates variable block size.
0
0xd639 or
This value is derived from constants provided in /usr/include/sys/
scsi/targets/stdef.h. The value determines which operations the
0x18659
driver can perform with the attached device by using a unique value for
each feature and then adding them together to form the options value.
Supported features will vary with OS revision, and may include the
following:

0x008
0x010
0x020
0x040
0x0200
