Adding Library to solaris - TSM driver problem

[mjon]

Hi all,



I am in the process of replacing an STK9730 with an STKL40. probe-scsi-all showed the device and drives, and dmesg clearly shows the library available to solaris.



I'm following the steps in the administrators guide for "Configuring Device Drivers for Non-IBM Tape Drives and Libraries."



I edited /usr/kernel/drv/lb.conf, but didn't make any changes because the Target and LUN on the new library are the same. The new library is on a different PCI slot though.



At any rate, I ran /usr/sbin/add_drv -m '* 0666 bin bin' /usr/kernel/drv/lb which says "Driver (lb) is already installed." The /dev/rmt/*lb corresponding to my library is not created though.



I went through this exact same thing 2 years ago when adding my L20, and as I recall, the solution was pretty simple. I can't remember what it was though. I have a feeling that whatever I'm doing wrong has to do with the TSM device driver for the library creating those links.



Any help would be much appreciated.

Solved. I had to run /usr/sbin/rem_drv lb



and then run /usr/sbin/add_drv -m '* 0666 bin bin' /usr/kernel/drv/lb



I issued the rem_drv command incorrectly at first, but this did the trick.
