---- if you are running Emulex FC HBA driver -- lpfc with this Emulex HBA  -----
3). Configure with Emulex FC HBA
   a) Run Emulex HBAnyware or lputil utilities to find and record the target and
       lun of tape device
   b) For lpfc.30g or later, change these parameters for IBMtape driver in 
/kernel/drv/lpfc.conf and reboot.
      If you want the "IBMtape" driver as the default tape driver, set the 
parameter
         target-tape="IBMtape";
      If IBMtape is used as the default changer driver, modify the setting
         target-tapechanger="IBMtape";

      These parameters can also be made hba specific, by prefixing the 
parameter with "lpfcX-",
      where X is the lpfc instance number.
   c) Add the entry in the end of /usr/kernel/drv/IBMtape.conf
       name="IBMtape" parent="lpfc" target=0;
      If failed to configure the changer, you may need to add the entries:
       name="IBMtape" parent="lpfc" target=X lun=0;
       name="IBMtape" parent="lpfc" target=X lun=1;
   d) Update the entry for the device in IBMtape.conf if needed, the current 
entry in
      IBMtape.conf is added up to target 255 with Lun 0 and 1.
      For instance, add an entry for a mapped device with a traget 200 and lun 3
        name="IBMtape" class="scsi" target=200 lun=3;
   e) Unload and reload IBMtape driver
       # /opt/IBMtape/tmd -s
       # rem_drv IBMtape
       # add_drv -m '* 0666 bin bin' IBMtape
       # /opt/IBMtape/tmd
   f) Display the configured devices information running /opt/IBMtape/tapelist 
-l


----- if you are using Sun branded Emuelx HBA driver -- emlxs with this HBA  
--------
4). Configure with Sun FC or SAS HBA
   a) Attach IBM tape devices on the host
   b) Install the appropriate version of Sun HBA driver
   c) Run # cfgadm -al to display the configuration between HBA and the tape 
device
      Run # cfgadm -al -o show_FCP_dev Ap_Id to show the medium changer 
configuration with HBA
      Run # cfgadm -c configure device to configure the tape device with the 
HBA if needed
   d) Install the IBMtape tape driver running # pkgadd command.
   e) Add the following appropriate lines in /etc/driver_aliases
      IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pXXX"
      IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.pXXX"

      where 01 is the type of tape drive and 08 is the type of medium changer,
      XXX is the product ID string in the standard inquiry data. In an example, 
for IBM
      LTO-2 drive with the product ID of ULT3580-TD2, XXX is ULT3580-TD2. The 
above entry
      needs to be add in the file.
             IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-TD2"

      A list of the entry for the supported IBM tape devices:
       For the tape drives:
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-TD1"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULTRIUM-TD1"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-TD2"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULTRIUM-TD2"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-TD3"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULTRIUM-TD3"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-HH3"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULTRIUM-HH3"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-TD4"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULTRIUM-TD4"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-HH4"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULTRIUM-HH4"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03590B1A"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03590E1A"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03590H1A"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03590E11"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03590H11"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03592J1A"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03592E05"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03592E06"

       For the medium changers,
       IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p03584L32"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p03584L22"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.pULT3582-TL"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.pULT3583-TL"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.pULT3581-TA"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.pULT3581-TA2"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p03590B11"
       IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p03590E11"

       IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p3572-TL"

       Note:
         The entry is also added running # update_drv command on Solaris 8 
(need patch 111804-03),
         Solaris 9 and later version OS. For example,
            # update_drv -av -i '"scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-TD2"' IBMtape

   f) Reboot the system running # reboot -- -r
   g) Run # /opt/IBMtape/tapelist -l to display the configured tape devices 
information

   Note:
    All of the added entries will be removed by the operating system 
automatically once IBMtape is
    unloaded from the kernel running # pkgrm, rem_drv, or modunload commands. 
We recommend the user
    to backup these entries in a file, and re-enter the entries when you 
upgrade IBMtape driver
    before to run #pkgadd command.
