Try this.
Not too sure about 4.5, but this is what needs to be done in 3.4.x

Look for this file called sg.build in your VolMgr folder..
run it and it will create st.conf, sg.conf, sg.links and some other which I
have forgotten.
Then copy all these to your /kernel/drv folder and reboot -- -r
After the system comes up, run sgscan again.

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
