Yes Chris you are right it's an OS issue and I've opened a case with SUN support. We want to use the sgen - Generic SCSI device driver to access the library in Solaris and the tape drivers. And then hopefully the mtx changer support in Amanda.

Your post is really an OS question rather than an Amanda question. I see that you also posted on the Sun forums, so that's good. I also found a post (I just googled "sl48 san solaris") by someone else that has a fair number of replies that might help. It's someone trying to do the same thing, but with NetBackup (which is really irrelevant). The clues appear to be related to configuring sg.conf and st.conf. That makes sense to me, but I've never messed with devices connected through SAN switches.
