All,
I've got an odd problem with my PX510 and my Solaris 10, Netbackup 6.0
MP2 master server.  The PX510 is connected to a fibre san switch, and my
Solaris 10 Netbackup 6 master server is connected into the san switch as
well.  When the PX510 is taken off-line (say to add new tapes, remove
old tapes, inventory the tape library at the PX510), then taken back
on-line, I can't see the PX510 from my Solaris 10 master server.  If I
run sgscan from the Solaris 10 box, I can't see the the jukebox until
the Solaris 10 box is reset.  

The odd thing is, is that the PX510 is used for Shared Storage.  I've
got a Linux box (SLES 9) running Netbackup 6 MP2 connected to the fibre
san switch as well.  The Linux box can see it by running
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/scan before and after the PX510 goes offline then
online.  I can't keep rebooting my Solaris 10 master server every time I
add or remove tapes from it.  I've tried modunload and modload on the sg
and st modules in solaris.  Has anyone had anything similar to this
occur to them?  If so did you find a work around?  Or if you've got any
general ideas, please share.
