We are running under Solaris 10 Generic_127111-11 SUNW,Sun-Fire-T2000.
Until recently, I had a Qualstar 46120, Qualstar 412600 and a XLS
connected and running.  The 412600 finally broke, so I migrated from
it to the XLS.  Are your tape devices on the same bus and showing up
in /dev?

I upgraded my Sun-based EMC Networker server from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10 and 
suddenly the Qualstar TLS-8222 tape library/jukebox (LVD copper scsi attached) 
was no longer visible.

If I revert back to Solaris 9 then the tape jukebox works just fine.

Yes, a boot -r or touch /recofigure + reboot was performed.

At the boot prom "ok" prompt, the Qualstar TLS-8222 shows up under a 
"probe-scsi-all" command, so it is certainly recognized at that level.

The networker "inquire" command (scans for scsi devices) shows the jukebox 
missing under Solaris 10, but present under Solaris 9.

Per Sun support, I tried the devfsadm -Cvi sgen command to cause the device 
tables to be rebuilt; they say that should result in a /dev/scsi/changer 
directory being created, but it does not exist.

Question: Can anyone confirm that they have Qualstar jukebox hardware that is 
working under Solaris 10?

I have a support ticket open with Qualstar to confirm operation of their 
jukeboxes with Solaris 10.

Thanks,
