Do you have the correct rmt path to the drive? If there are 2 drives and the rmt's are reversed it will give the error you have.
For us we have /dev/rmt43 for AIX and c80t0l0 for the NAS in the path definitions to 1 drive.

This is for an LTO2 drive in an Oracle SL8500. We have replaced the drive, replaced the tray and changed the cable to the drive without success. Any suggestions on what this issue might be? I'm at a loss and have tried everything that I can think of. Thanks in advance!
