Need to access a Scalar i2K library from our Networker Solaris 8 Server (yes it 
is old I known :) as a quickNdirty since all former STK drives are dead, a 
current well working sol8 server needs new tape drives. So we attached a i2K 
across our Fabric.

Solaris sees the drives on the fabric and they are static bounded in lpfc, but 
the drivers 'st' & 'sgen' won't known of the LTO4 drives & changers, howto get 
sol8 know of LTO4 drives of i2K?

Any hints on getting 'st' & 'sgen' to know on the LTO4s are most welcome!

TIA

Some info:
