Thomas,
it is my understanding that TSM device driver does not support FC
connection to devices. You have to have SCSI connection to drives.
In your case it means, that you have to have FC HBA, which present SCSI
interface to host system (Solaris).

In your mt.conf file you have to use fo "parent" parameter value SCSI.
But I am not sure if this is true also in 5.2.

Hope this helps

TSM 5.2, Solaris 8 w/ STK L700 9940B drive






Hi Guys,

Currently I'm having problem configuring TSM mt driver on Solaris 8 with
STK
9940B tape drive. I tried many different mt.conf configuration but I still
got the following error:

# add_drv -v /usr/kernel/drv/mt
exit status = 0
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: mt
exit status = 11
Warning: Driver (mt) successfully added to system but failed to attach
Driver (mt) installed.

Following is the configuration that I have been tried:

name="mt" parent="fp" target="0" lun="0" fc-port-wwn="500104f101782200"
name="mt" parent="pseudo" instance=16383
