Default AIX 4.3.3 with two 6228 HBA - Too much rmt created


Hello,

On an AIX 4.3.3 server with two 6228 HBAs :

fscsi0 (tapes) - PtP connection to an ADIC snc5100/Scalar1000/LTO1x6
fscsi1 (disk) - connected trough an IBM FC switch to an ESS disk array

Problem is for each physical tape drive, cfgmgr creates two "rmt" devices.
The NetBackup "scan" command shows clearly two "rmt" with the same serial
after cfgmgr has run. "rmdev -d" doesn't help, neither did a clean devices
and a reboot.

A case is going to be open with IBM but knowing it's going to take some
time for misc reasons, I'm curious if this unwanted behaviour may ring
someone's bell here ?

Thanks && amicalement,
fx

Ps: fu2 comp.unix.aix
