If you do a "modinfo" command, do you have both st & sg driver loaded?

I have used them and they appear to work correctly on the OS level, just not
with NetBackup. I can read, write, rewind and erase the tape.

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.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Not Seeing My Tape Drive
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
