right...I'm assuming tpautoconf uses /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/goodies/scan to
get its information.  At least that's what I'm going to do in a script to
populate the globDB WITHOUT renaming/renumbering existing drives, which I
have seen tpautoconf do just recently at a customer site.

Yes, in the goodies directory is the scan command.

There is an "sgscan" in that directory but not a plain "scan" so I am
guessing that is the command the sun contact was referring to.  Note that
the "tape" argument does not take a leading dash though.  When I run this on
one of our media servers here I get:

# sgscan tape
/dev/sg/c16t0l0: (/dev/rmt/24): "STK     T9940B"
/dev/sg/c16t1l0: (/dev/rmt/25): "STK     T9940B"
/dev/sg/c16t2l0: (/dev/rmt/22): "STK     T9940B"

Throwing in the additional -v option I see:
# sgscan tape -v
/dev/sg/c16t0l0: (/dev/rmt/24): "STK     T9940B          1.32"
/dev/sg/c16t1l0: (/dev/rmt/25): "STK     T9940B          1.32"
/dev/sg/c16t2l0: (/dev/rmt/22): "STK     T9940B          1.32"
/dev/sg/c16t3l0: (/dev/rmt/26): "STK     T9940B          1.32"

In other words, still no serial numbers although you then do get the
firmware revision, a useful factoid in its own right.

Is there another tool in that directory I am not aware of?

I found it...thanks to a friend from Sun.

/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/scan -tape
