You say all your rmt devices are there, have you tried using them? 
 
Try this:
 
for tp in `ls /dev/rmt/?`
do
  echo "Drive: $tp"
  sudo mt -f $tp status
done

...and see if get valid output for each rmt device.

Try this. 
Not too sure about 4.5, but this is what needs to be done in 3.4.x 

Look for this file called sg.build in your VolMgr folder.. 
run it and it will create st.conf, sg.conf, sg.links and some other which I
have forgotten. 
Then copy all these to your /kernel/drv folder and reboot -- -r 
After the system comes up, run sgscan again.

Thanks, I just tried this and still am not seeing the drive with "sgscan". 
This thing is really frustrating me.

You will have to re-install the sg devices and drivers: 

- rm /dev/rmt/* 
- rm /dev/sg/* 
- rm /kernel/drv/sg 
- rm /kernel/drv/sg.conf 
- rem_drv sg 
- drvconfig; tapes 
- /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/sg.install 

The same thing happened to me installing a new L9 on a Solaris 8 box, and 
the above steps fixed it.

I am running NetBackup 4.5 on a Solaris 8 box, but it will not see the IBM 
Ultrium2 tape drive in the STK L700 (this is the only one I am connected 
to). The Solaris box sees it and has the correct entries in "/dev/rmt". But 
when I do an "sgscan" or try to have NetBackup discover the drive from the 
gui it will not see it. 

Sorry if this is an ignorant question, but i'm under a time crunch and am 
new to some of these concepts. 

Thanks 

Pete Akre
