disappearing
Hey Steve,
I can confidently say if drives are lost from the O/S where a cfgadm or
a reboot is needed to see them again NBU has absolutely nothing to do
with it. Do you lose /dev/rmt entries? Can you see the drives in the
output

Im not sure if its still relevant for Solaris 10 but i remember in the
device admin guide it mentions that solaris unloads the least used
devices should the system be busy. These are usually tapes and so it
recommends adding the following lines into /etc/system
forceload: drv/st
forceload: drv/sg
I remember having to do that back when I used Solaris in PROD backup
environments, seemed to be what was needed.

Steve,
Please refer to Sun's Docid 87467 regarding disappearing devices in
Solaris10. You are losing the device path because the device is
disappearing from the host.
Please review your devices / HBAs as well. Perhaps the /var/adm/messages
file would point in the direction of the real issues.
