    NOTE: If the input device is the tape drive and the device name is rmt0, then the device should be /dev/rmt0.1.

    NOTE: If you are unable to find your fix in the list, you may have an enhancement instead of a subsystem fix. Go back to step 5 and select Install Enhancements and then continue on with step 6.

  8. If the status of the install is OK, reboot the system for the fixes to go into effect. If the status of the install is FAILED, then review the smit.log to determine the cause of the failure. If the status was FAILED, do not reboot the system until you determine the cause of the failure and resolve the problem.
