I have 4 storage nodes using Dynamic Drive Sharing.
Everything was working properly for a while.  The storage nodes directly
accessed the tape drives across the SAN.

Now, everything is NOT working.  When I try to access the drives across the
SAN I get read open errors and I/O errors.  The tapes then get stuck in the
drives and I have to manually move them and perform a reset and inventory
on the library.

I looked at the inquire command and the tape drives are listed but they are
not mapped to a device path.

I believe that this is the issue.
I think that I could do a   rm /dev/rmt*  and a reboot -- -r to pick up the
drive mappings, but what happens the next time the server reboots?

Something in my configuration must  have changed.  Maybe st.conf or
lpfc.conf???

Has anyone experienced this and have a solution?
I would like to configure persistent bindings so that the config will stay
the same after server reboots.

Networker Server is Solaris 8, Networker 6.1
Networker Client is Solaris 6 and Solaris 8 all Networker 6.1
