Hello,

Editing the st.conf file is Fraught.  It's _very_ easy to make a
mistake.  I've heard grumblings that Sun no longer supports editing that
file, so check with your Sun representative.

Saludos,
Jose.

Thanks for the reply, from what I understand Solaris 8 does not use the

st.conf because the devices are now in the kernel.  Our Solaris 8 NetWorker

From the st(7) man page on my Solaris 8 box with no patches installed.

  Tape Configuration
     The st tape driver has a built-in  configuration  table  for
     all Sun supported tape drives. In order to support the addi-
     tion of third party tape devices or to override  a  built-in
     configuration, device information can be supplied in st.conf
     as global properties that apply to each node, or as  proper-
     ties  that  are  applicable  to one node only. The st driver
     looks for the property called "tape-config-list". The  value
     of  this  property is a list of triplets, where each triplet
     consists of three strings.

     The formal syntax is:

     tape-config-list = <triplet> [, <triplet> *];
      where

     <triplet> := <vid+pid>, <pretty print>, <data-property-name>
     and

 ... lots more info removed...
