Did you make sure you have /kernel/st.conf and (lpfc.conf if emulex fiber attached) entries.

I'm not fully up on Solaris 10 at the moment but Solaris 10 does a lot a new things automatically that solaris 8/9 does not.

Hope this helps

I recently added connectivity to a Scalar i2000 with 4 LTO3 drives, to a
Solaris 8 server.
I removed all the entries in /dev/rmt, reconfigure booted, went through
the sg install process, yet the server does not have entries in /dev/rmt
for the new drives.  The server is connected to two tape libraries:
1-L700 with 6 9840 drives, 2-i2000 with 4 LTO3 drives.  The L700 drives
continue to be present on the system and usable.
I've also tried devfsadm, drvconfig, tapes, etc...

Why don't the entries appear in /dev/rmt?

I've done the same process on multiple Solaris 10 servers, connected to
the same SAN and they all work fine.
