Yes, that is the inquiry string that comes from the drive (or vendor
string).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Mismatch between sgscan output & st.conf entry?

I've got this (potential) mismatch between my "sgscan tape" output & the
st.conf file (Solaris 8).  If I udnerstand correctly, the name returned
in
the third field of sgscan for a tape should be the same as the first
field
of the st.conf "tape-config-list" entry for that device.  

Can somebody confirm this?

If this is the case, it could be the root of some problems of mine.  I
may
not be running an appropriate set of parameters for my LTO drives.

If this is not the case, what command should I be using to query the
drive
identification to compare against the st.conf file?

Advise anyone?
-M

Here's "sgscan tape":
/dev/sg/c1t3l1: (/dev/rmt/0): "HP      Ultrium 1-SCSI"
<snip>
/dev/sg/c1t5l2: (/dev/rmt/8): "QUANTUM SuperDLT1"

Here's the relevant st.conf lines:
> grep -v "^#" /kernel/drv/st.conf

tape-config-list=
"HP Ultrium",           "HP Ultrium",           "HP_LTO",
"QUANTUM SuperDLT1",    "Quantum SDLT 220",     "SDLT_220";

HP_LTO          =       1,0x36,0,0x1d639,4,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,3;
SDLT_220        =       1,0x38,0,0x1d639,4,0x90,0x91,0x90,0x91,3;
