About no rewind device files on Solaris

NetBackup requires no rewind on close device files for tape drives.

With no rewind on close, the tape is not rewound after a close operation. It remains in position for the next write operation.

The letter n in the device file names in the /dev/rmt directory specifies no rewind on close.
