Title: Solaris w/ a Exabyte 210 Changer





All, 
I'm trying to configure Amanda to use my tape library robot. The Exabyte 210, has the robot arm and 2 drive devices. In my chg-scsi.conf I'm not sure what to use for as my changerdev.. the only close thing I can think of using is /dev/lus, but I think that is a specific driver to Legato and didnt work. I've unremed the appropriate /kernel/drv/st.conf lines. 

Any suggestions? 
-Amro

It depends on your OS.  In Linux, it will probably be a SCSI-generic
device, such as /dev/sg0.  In *BSD it might be /dev/ch0.  Check your
dmesg output for the SCSI devices probed at boot time.
