chg-scsi which seems to be right at home with a drive at lun0/robot 
at lun1 setup, is running one of the many variations of Seagate 
4586 changers just fine here.  This is the one that has either a 4 
tape or a 12 tape(the drawer stays open and the magazine runs up 
and down the front of the computer) arranged so the tapes are 
horizontal.  The drive is /dev/nst0, the robot is /dev/sg1.

If this was linux, You'd have to build a kernel with the scsi option  
'scan all luns' turned on else the robot won't be found.  Its not 
on by default.  I don't know about solaris though.
