Hmm, perhaps I'll call Sun now. I regret posting any entries to the list;
I offer the following explanations though:
I had a several Quantum engineers confirm the entires.
I had Sun support confirm the entries..
I agree and do not doubt that the support is there already in the st driver
(according to the rev notes).
However, having no entries in the st.conf tends to confuse both Quantum
and Legato tech support when calling in a problem.
Sun should update/fix their st.conf file with these patch revs. While
its says DLT7000's are supported, it does not mention, LTO or SDLT.
Further, even for Quantum DLT7000, it does not have Note1 which
says that no entry is needed.
I apologize for confusing anyone on the list..

Do _NOT_ put entries in st.conf for DLT7k's unless you have a specific
reason for doing so. Solaris (any version, as long as it's been patched
in the past few years) has native support for DLT7000 - there's no need
to put an entry in st.conf, and doing so can lead to sub-optimal
performance.

Same story as above for SDLT, only you'll need to make sure you've got
a recent st patch applied (eg, 108725-08 or later for Solaris 8, 107460-11
or later for Solaris 7).

Same story again. LTO support was added in 108725-07 (Sol8), 107460-10
(Sol7), etc.
