lpfc.conf is the emulex fc hba config file on solaris. it would be in
/kernel/drv dir if you have emulex fc hba's..

Thanks Joe for the suggestions...I have verified that all 8 drives are being

everything appears to be OK from that angle.
I'm not familiar with the lpfc.conf file however? What exactly does that do?
Couldn't find one my Solaris host...thanks JH

The problem may be within the STK router or the lpfc.conf file.
Check your topology entries for the router.
I would remove all of the rmt entries and connect the drives one at a
time
(multiple reboots but it may help point to something on the router - a
bad
port or ports, etc...)

You might try deleting all the rmt entries and rebuilding them.

PS. I've had nothing but trouble with JNI and Solaris. Always firmware
and Solaris issues.

Orginally I thought that could perhaps be an issue, but apparently NBU's
naming convention is purely abstract...meaning SuperDLT, DLTIV, etc have
no direct correspondence with NBU's dlt, dlt2, dlt3 etc naming
convention. They are for you to use however you like; a good example
would be if you had two different types of drives in the same
library...wouldn't want one drive using the other drives tapes so you
could configure them in different dltX environments. Oh if my problem
were only that easy :)

Jon,
I'm on a windows environment, so I'm no Unix expert.
I thought that maybe the devices were not set up correctly? Maybe setup
as dlt instead of dlt2, etc...
Good luck!
