For a changer device on LUN 1 you need to edit the Solaris's generic SCSI driver /kernel/drv/sgen.conf. This works fine, did some tests with mtx.
I was just more wondering what are the criterias to choose between chg-scsi or chg-zd-mtx...

This is the one that has either a 4 tape or a 12 tape(the drawer stays open and the magazine runs up and down the front of the computer) arranged so the tapes are horizontal. The drive is /dev/nst0, the robot is /dev/sg1. If this was linux, You'd have to build a kernel with the scsi option 'scan all luns' turned on else the robot won't be found. Its not on by default. I don't know about solaris though. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.19% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
