Hi,

I've got Amanda happily seeing the tape drive itself in the L9, but not the robotics controller. The L9 is attached to an Sbus 'isp' SCSI card in the Sparc 20 and it's configured into amanda.conf using the '/dev/rmt/0lbn' device node (the kernels picks it up as 'st15' during a reconfiguration boot), and the issue at the moment is working out what is the correct 'class' string to get the 'sgen' driver to recognise and bind to the robotics controller.

I've tried using 'QLGC,isp' and just plain 'isp'. The robotics controller is SCSI ID # 0 going on what the unit's admin screen tells me. There are two ISP cards in the machine - one LVD/SE card connecting to a Sun hard disk array, and the diff scsi one going to the L9.

Any idea on what the correct 'class' string for the sgen.conf file should be?

Thanks,

Craig.
