Did you get the latest mappings.txt?

Here is the NB 6.0 version...
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/281082.htm

I think the wizard uses mappings.txt...

an updated st driver might do the trick also patch 108725-22 for s2.8

[Veritas-bu] anyone using LTO3 with Solaris 8?






 
I previously had four LTO2 drives in each of two libraries....do to a bad 
GBIC in a switch, and several subsequent events, one drive wasn't visable, 
so my backup server was only seeing 7 drives.
 
Last night, I replaced the 8 port Sun FC switches with a couple of Brocade 
3800s that were released from another project, and added an additional 3 
LTO3 drives in each library.
 
I did a /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sg.build, followed by an sg.install
 
I've added the following to the /kernel/drv/st.conf
 
        "HP      Ultrium 3",           "HP Ultrium LTO3",   "ULTRIUM3";
 
ULTRIUM3 = 1,0x36,0,0xd639,4,0x44,0x44,0x44,0x44,3;
I can see all the drives when I do a:
bash-2.03# cfgadm -al -o show_FCP_dev
 
all eight LTO2, and six LTO3
 
devfsadm, or a boot -r picks up all the devices properly, and creates all 
the proper device files, but sgscan sees only the 7 LTO2 drives.
I used tpconfig to remove all of the old drive configs and re-ran the GUI 
device configuration wizard, but it sees 7 LTO2 drives, and 2 drives of 
unknown type.
 
sg.conf is up to date with all WWN maps, etc.....so sg.conf isn't 
reporting any errors about unmapped WWNs.....
 
I used tpconfig and manually configured all 14 drives and can exercise 
them using robtest, but sgscan and the device config wizard still see the 
same.
 
any idears?
 
Paul
