Solaris may put the changer device links in places other than /dev/rmt. Check /dev/changer, /dev/scsi/{sequential|unknown}. Not there? Check if the id's and lun's are scanned during boot. The two files are /kernel/drv/{st|sgen}.conf In st.conf, by default, the eight low scsi id's are scanned but only for lun 0. On my unit, the library is lun 1 of the same scsi id as the drive. So it would not be seen with the default config. As I have to edit it anyway, I comment out the id's that do not contain tape drives (minor boot speed up) and add lines for lun 1 for the remainder. If you want to (or need to) have the sgen (scsi generic?) driver used for the changer you may have to edit the sgen.conf file. I forget what Solaris doc I got this from, but here is the relevant section from my sgen.conf file. ##### # Added by jhl ##### device-type-config-list="changer"; inquiry-config-list= "HP", "HP DDS-3 4mm DAT loader", "HP", "C1557A"; name="sgen" class="scsi" target=5 lun=0; name="sgen" class="scsi" target=5 lun=1; -- Jon H.
