Solaris 10, IBMtape 4.1.9.5
I installed IBMtape on a test server and it was working fine. Two weeks later (yesterday) I went back to try a configuration for alternate pathing (just made additions to lpfc.com, devlink.tab, and IBMtape.conf) and it didn't work, so I simply removed my additions, rebooted and was back the way it was.......except that IBMtape doesn't work anymore. I've compared everything to another server to be sure I put things back the way they were.
Running this...
add_drv -m '* 0666 bin bin' IBMtape
...Results in this...
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: IBMtape
Warning: Driver (IBMtape) successfully added to system but failed to attach
Tracking down some info in /var/adm/messages. It needs directories that don't exist but should...
/dev/ibmcontrol
/dev/ibmdaemon
So I uninstalled the IBMtape driver and reinstalled, without success.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this would disappear? And how to get it back?
