Hi guys,


Thanks for all that helped me... the problem was: JNI FC adapter was set to
FC-AL mode when it should be set to FC-SW mode... once I changed it in
fcaw.conf, and rebooted the E3500, Solaris could "see" the devices !

But I have another problem for you guys:

Solaris (2.7) recognizes the 5 tape drives but I can't open them (using
tapeutil). I have already commented out the file st.conf, but everytime I
run "drvconfig" the OS recognizes the same device twice, once via IBMtape
and via Solaris itself; in /dev/rmt I have 10 devices !  I belive that is
the cause of my problem, but I'm not so certain ... IBM has just certified
this FC64-1063 adapter to work with Switch 2109 and Shark... They haven't
mentioned anything about tape drives and libraries...

Anyway, has anyone seen this kind of Solaris behaviour ? Should I reboot
again the Server after I changed the  "st.conf" file ?!
Unfortunatelly I am a rookie in Solaris and all this seems very strange to
me :)
I've seen a lot of problems like that in ADSM.ORG about SCSI drives... no
solution at all

Again, thanks you all !
