Do you use the emulex drive lpfc package or the sun leadville packages
(SUNWsan)? Are they both installed?

If you use leadville with emulex HBA - check the firmware revision on
the HBA is compatible.

When the library id changes what happens to the tape devices? Are they
still workable using the mt command?
