I've recently read the following document, which describes how drives
should be configured in Solaris:
http://sony.storagesupport.com/naslibrary/downloads/unix216.pdf
Thus, I have the following in my st.conf:
"SONY SDZ-100", "Sony Super-AIT1", "SONY_SAIT";
SONY_SAIT = 1, 0x36, 0, 0x1d639, 4, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,0;
When I boot the system, I get the following messages:
Dec 4 14:38:20 britt scsi: [ID 799468 kern.info] st17 at fp0: name

According to the above document, those bits should be:
ST_BUFFERED_WRITES 0x4000
So, my configuration should be valid..?
Which leads me to my question:
Does anyone have a verified working st.conf for use with S-AIT1 tape
devices? (SDZ-100) I'm running solaris 9, and its possible that the above
document isn't updated.
I'm asking because I get fatal timeouts to the device during some rare
circumstances. I'm not sure exactly what's causing it though.
