It sounds like you do not have the driver for your hba installed on the solaris box. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vines, Peter (psv2b) Sent: Monday, December 24, 2007 12:49 PM To: Vines, Peter (psv2b); psv2b; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] New tape drives not appearing in /dev/rmt.

Re: [Veritas-bu] New tape drives not appearing in /dev/rmt.
My guess is that you need to add the WWN to the st.conf... Something like this: name=st class=scsi target=c0tw500308c00189780al1; Do that for each drive and then reload the st driver... modinfo -i |grep st modunload -i (number of st driver) devfsadm -i st That ought to clear it up. One other possibility is to run the /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sg.build command and have it build the sg.conf entries. Then, just change the 'name=sg' to be name=st and put that in st.conf. -Tim On 12/24/07, Vines, Peter (psv2b) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Adding the entry to st.conf followed by a boot -r did NOT fix my problem.
