Hi, I am stuck on a problem using 2 * HP Ultrium 3 tape devices on a solaris 8 
server. The Solaris server can see the tape devices and they are created in 
/dev/rmt. I can also see the correct tape drive info in the messages log file 
on boot up.
   
  When I run the inquire command I do not see the devices and a scan of the 
storage node using the NMC finds no devices. I have looked at st.conf and 
lus.conf but i think that is the OS can see the tape devices then these files 
are set correctly.
   
  The tape devices are fibre devices presented through a qlogic 2300 HBA. I am 
using networker 7.3.3. What could be causing the inquire command to not see the 
tape devices?
   
  thanks
