Thanks, I just tried this and still am not seeing the drive with "sgscan".
This thing is really frustrating me.

You will have to re-install the sg devices and drivers:

- rm /dev/rmt/*
- rm /dev/sg/*
- rm /kernel/drv/sg
- rm /kernel/drv/sg.conf
- rem_drv sg
- drvconfig; tapes
- /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/sg.install

The same thing happened to me installing a new L9 on a Solaris 8 box, and
the above steps fixed it.

I am running NetBackup 4.5 on a Solaris 8 box, but it will not see the IBM
Ultrium2 tape drive in the STK L700 (this is the only one I am connected
to). The Solaris box sees it and has the correct entries in "/dev/rmt". But
when I do an "sgscan" or try to have NetBackup discover the drive from the
gui it will not see it.

Sorry if this is an ignorant question, but i'm under a time crunch and am
new to some of these concepts.

Thanks

Pete Akre
