It has been a while, but you probably need to modifiy /kernel/drv/st.conf,
to make sure the defintions for the addl drive targets are defined...

the reboot -- -r

Tom,
have you tried a reboot with -r (reconfigure and rediscover)on the solaris
...
It should come up with the two extra drives ..

Cmdline;> reboot -- -r

Have also verified the scsi id's it seems to have some duplicates .. Which
is nevert good with scsi.
Regards

We just upgraded our STK L700 library from 6 DLT8000 drives to 8 DLT8000
drives. When reinstalling the TSM Solaris device drivers it only recognizes
6 of the 8 tape drives. It recognizes 1 of the new ones and drops one of the
preexisting ones. We verified that the tape drives where working from the
OS. Each sbus card controls 2 drives and has the target id's set to 1 and 0
on each card.

Anyone else had this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Environment: TSM Server 5.1.5.1 - Sun Ultra Enterprise 4500, 4 GB RAM, OS:
Solaris 2.7, Library: Storage Tek L700, 8 - DLT8000 drives SCSI attached.

Thank You in advance.
