Hi y'all,

I'm running Solaris 9 with Amanda 2.4.4 (hoping to find the time
to upgrade soon, but its working great), MTX is v 1.2.17rel

We have been running the data to a StorEdge L9 jukebox with LTO tapes.

We are in process of installing a StorEdge C2 jukebox with an LTO3 tape.

We see the new tape drive at /dev/rmt/2, but do not have a device
file for the jukebox. Quantum says that its just offset by the LUN
number, SUN says to install Legato or Netbackup or something so I
have a passthrough driver.

Have any of you installed this jukebox ? Do I need the additional
software in order to create a proper device file for the jukebox ?

The StorEdge L9 jukebox has a sepate scsi id from its tape drive
and I'm able to see a device in directory /dev/scsi/changer/ but
this is not the case with the C2. I'm uncertain how the L9 changer
device was created.

                                                thank you,

                                                Brian
