Sun will tell your that the DLT drives are supported as-is and not required
in the st.conf file.  Your experience may be proof of that statement.  My
problem children are my Ultrium LTO's.

I don't think that it's read from st.conf.

I use SDLT220's all over, and have no entries in st.conf for them, as they
are unneccesary.

However, view my sgscan output:

/dev/sg/c0t20l0: Changer: "STK     L700"
/dev/sg/c0t20l1: Tape (/dev/rmt/0): "QUANTUM SuperDLT1" 
/dev/sg/c0t20l2: Tape (/dev/rmt/1): "QUANTUM SuperDLT1" 
/dev/sg/c0t20l3: Tape (/dev/rmt/2): "QUANTUM SuperDLT1" 
/dev/sg/c0t20l4: Tape (/dev/rmt/3): "QUANTUM SuperDLT1" 
/dev/sg/c0t21l0: Tape (/dev/rmt/4): "QUANTUM SuperDLT1" 
/dev/sg/c0t21l1: Tape (/dev/rmt/5): "QUANTUM SuperDLT1" 
/dev/sg/c0t21l2: Tape (/dev/rmt/6): "QUANTUM SuperDLT1" 
/dev/sg/c0t21l3: Tape (/dev/rmt/7): "QUANTUM SuperDLT1"

/dev/sg/c0t23l1: Tape (/dev/rmt/13): "QUANTUM SuperDLT1"

I've got this (potential) mismatch between my "sgscan tape" output & the

st.conf file (Solaris 8).  If I udnerstand correctly, the name returned

in

the third field of sgscan for a tape should be the same as the first

field

of the st.conf "tape-config-list" entry for that device.  



Can somebody confirm this?



If this is the case, it could be the root of some problems of mine.  I

may

not be running an appropriate set of parameters for my LTO drives.



If this is not the case, what command should I be using to query the

drive

identification to compare against the st.conf file?



Advise anyone?

Here's "sgscan tape":

/dev/sg/c1t3l1: (/dev/rmt/0): "HP      Ultrium 1-SCSI"

<snip>

/dev/sg/c1t5l2: (/dev/rmt/8): "QUANTUM SuperDLT1"



Here's the relevant st.conf lines:

  

grep -v "^#" /kernel/drv/st.conf

    



tape-config-list=

"HP Ultrium",           "HP Ultrium",           "HP_LTO",

"QUANTUM SuperDLT1",    "Quantum SDLT 220",     "SDLT_220";



HP_LTO          =       1,0x36,0,0x1d639,4,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,3;

SDLT_220        =       1,0x38,0,0x1d639,4,0x90,0x91,0x90,0x91,3;
