Do you have any entries under /dev/changers or /dev/scsi/*?

Using the Solaris "sgen" driver (scsi general) others have reported
that they get devices /dev/changer/???.  I get something under
/dev/scsi/sequential/???.  From that I manually create a
/dev/changer/??? link because it "makes sense".

Check the archives or your vendors docs for comments about setting
up /kernel/drv/sgen.conf if you haven't already done so.

You say your tapedevice is /dev/rmt/1.  What is /dev/rmt/0?  Do
you have another tape drive?  If not, maybe you should remove
all the symbolic links in /dev/rmt and run devfsadm(1m) to
recreate them.  If both reappear, then perhaps one is the
tape drive and the other is the changer device.  I get both
the /dev/scsi device from the sgen driver and an extra /dev/rmt
device from the st driver.  The latter is also my changer, I
can use either.
