(info) Solaris tape device names have the format /dev/rmt/<device> where device can be a digit (e,g., /dev/rmt/0) or a combination of digits and certain letters (e.g., /dev/mnt/0n is the first drive set to no rewind).

Should the devices not exist after adding a virtual tape drive, boot the emulated SPARC guest system with the -r (reconfigure) parameter. Example: boot disk0 -r.
