What's the physical connectivity method - FC or SCSI? st.conf has
differing entries for SCSI and FC based devices.

First, check your /kernel/drv/st.conf. You no longer need to configure
devices that are built in, but it appears that your devices are being
recognized as WORM, rather than tape. It could be a config on the
library, or a firmware issue. You might try a custom st.conf from Sony.
You also need to have enough target/luns defined. The default solaris
config should have had plenty, but your st.conf might be garbled.
BTW, drvconfig/tapes has been deprecated under Solaris 9+, fix st.conf
and try for grins:
> modinfo | grep SCSI
> modunload -i ID
> modload /kernel/drv/st
> devfsadm -v -C -c tape
> devfsadm -v -c tape
The first one does the cleanup, 2nd one does the

Subject: [Networker] Device Pathname not assigned to new tape drives
I currently installed 2 new AIT-2 tape drives into our scalar 1000. They
are the same model as the first 2 which have been running fine for 3+
years. The problem is that the device pathnames are not being assigned
properly to the new tape drives. There is some strange behavior going
on.
They are seen by the OS, but for some reason it looks like the new
pathnames I create manually are pointing to the first 2 devices and not
the new ones that have been added. Any help would be appreciated. Here
is my setup.
System - Sunfire V240
OS - Solaris 9
Tape Library - ADIC Scalar 1000
Tape Drives - Sony SDX-500C AIT-2
Networker - 7.1

Shouldn't the links 0hbn & 1hbn be pointing to the devices on ID 8 & 9?
Here are some other steps I have tried that have not helped.
modinfo | grep SCSI
modunload -i ID
modload /kernel/drv/st
rm -r /dev/rmt
drvconfig -i st
tapes
Then run jbconfig. This did not help. How can I get the proper pathnames
assigned to the 2 new drives?
Thanks,
David
