Mark,

This is from the Inquire MAN pages.  I have the same issue as you.

Starting with NetWorker 7.2.1 and above, the support of  LUS
     was  discontinued for Solaris 10 and above.  This means that
     after installation 'inquire' might not necessarily show  any
     devices  meant to be used by NetWorker. If this is the case,
     the Solaris Server might not be configured correctly.

Hasn't been an issue, except in getting the drives lined up correctly.
Right now they are numbered 321654.  Which can be confusing when you
eject a tape from drive 1 its actually the 3rd drive.  If I had inquire
I could line them up easier.

Hi, I am stuck on a problem using 2 * HP Ultrium 3 tape devices on a
solaris 8 server. The Solaris server can see the tape devices and they
are created in /dev/rmt. I can also see the correct tape drive info in
the messages log file on boot up.
   
  When I run the inquire command I do not see the devices and a scan of
the storage node using the NMC finds no devices. I have looked at
st.conf and lus.conf but i think that is the OS can see the tape devices
then these files are set correctly.
   
  The tape devices are fibre devices presented through a qlogic 2300
HBA. I am using networker 7.3.3. What could be causing the inquire
command to not see the tape devices?
   
  thanks
