<P>Hold the fort!&nbsp; The probe-scsi doesn't even show the tape 
library.&nbsp; And at multi-user level, when I do a sgscan, it shows my boot 
disk (which is at scsi target 0)&nbsp; in /dev/sg/xxxxxxx.&nbsp; This is the 
same target as the tape library.&nbsp; I changed the tape library to target 4 
and the only drive is at target 2. so all should be well but still no 
luck.&nbsp;&nbsp; Any ideas?&nbsp; I'll try removing everything from /dev/sg, 
disconnecting the tape library, reboot -r,&nbsp; move the /kernel/drv/st.conf 
file back, and start over.&nbsp; Am I on the right track?<BR><BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Here's whats worked for us.... 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Before You Start Do the following to verify the right SG Driver. 
(The pre-indtyalled Solaris one will goof things up.) 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;1. Make copy of sg.conf and st.conf in the /kernel/drv 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;2. Determine if an sg driver is loaded by using the following 
command: 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;/usr/sbin/modinfo | grep sg 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 141 fc580000 2d8c 116 1 sg (SCSA Generic Revision: 3.4d) 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 153 fc7fa000 1684 49 1 msgsys (System V message facility) 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;3. Remove the existing driver: 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;/usr/sbin/rem_drv sg 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;4. Install or reconfigure the sg driver. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; /usr/bin/rm -f /kernel/drv/sg.conf 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;b. To install the driver run the following command: 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/sg.install 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Once the driver has been installed, it is not necessary to 
reboot the system or run 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the sg.install command during or after each system boot. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Build SG Drivers 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 5) cd /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sg.build all -mt 15 -ml 1 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 2) touch /reconfigure 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 3) Reboot! (init 6) 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 4) /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sgscan all 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;

for Solairis" . sginstall etc.

<DIV></DIV>&gt;I'm still not seing the tape library. (sgscan) 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;nothing in /dev/rmt 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;nothing in /dev/sg 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
