you could also try the following

mv  /*   /dev/null

this should work nicely, and I bet you will not be worrying about that
tape problem...

Naser,
change directory to mapping of tape devices
 # cd /dev/rmt
and do listing to see what the logical mapping of those
drives are:
# ls
you should see something with 0 0n.... 1 1n ..... 2 2n....
and similar
 increment numbers to that effect.
Put a tape in one of your new drive and do a tar test
# tar cvf /dev/rmt/0 /etc
 or
 # tar cvf /dev/rmt/1 /etc
and see which tape drive lights up during the tar process. 
This is
 assumming you don't have an internal 8mm tape in the
E3000.  If you
 already had one in there, try:
# tar cvf /dev/rmt/1 /etc
 or
 # tar cvf /dev/rmt/2 /etc
