Ty,

to setup FC devices you do a

# cfgadm -al

(lists the FC cards and the connected devices). Entries which are "unconfigured" can be configured by

# cfgadm -c configure c5::5006xxxxxxxxxxxx

(configure a specific WWN)

or

# cfgadm -c configure c5

(configure all WWNs connected to controller 5)

If you would like the connected WWNS to specific "/dev/rmt/Xxx" devices, you can modify the file "/etc/devlinks.tab" and add entries as follows :

#
# Begin TAPE section
#
type=ddi_byte:tape;addr=w5006xxxxxxxxxxx1,0;    rmt/250\M0
type=ddi_byte:tape;addr=w5006xxxxxxxxxxx2,0;    rmt/251\M0
type=ddi_byte:tape;addr=w5006xxxxxxxxxxx3,0;    rmt/252\M0
#
# End TAPE section
#

After modifying the file, do a "rm /dev/rmt/* ; devfsadm -v" to repopulate /dev/rmt.

Bye

Quoting Ty Young <phillip_young AT I2 DOT COM>:

All,

I just received the last part of our new bkup system, consisting of

2 x Sun T2000 servers (one as a NetWorker server, and one as a storage
node)
1 x StorageTek L500 library (4 x LTO3 drives)
1 x Brocade 4100 switch
2 x Sun/Emulex dual-port 4Gbit HBAs

The configuration we've chosen is to drive two tape drives with each
T2000, and hook the library robotics (also FC) onto the first HBA port.
The switch has been zoned this way and the drives and robotics are being
seen by the appropriate hosts.

My question is this.  Shouldn't there be an entry in some sort
of /kernel/drv/*.conf file to bind the tape drives' WWNs to the HBAs?
I'm new to FC-connected drives, so I may not be asking an intelligent
question.
