Im having some trouble connecting a compaq MSL5026 tape library to a Sun
E420R. I cant get probe-scsi-all to show the device(s). I have read the
following summary, and the links it contains, I have found useful but Im
still confused.

Here's the setup
Sun E420R with Solaris 8. There is a PCI differential scsi card in the
machine, provided by sun with initial setup. The most info I have on this
card is "Dual channel differential Ultra wide scsi card" by symbios. I have
used this card to connect A1000 disk array and L9 tape library - all
detected, no problem.

Now I get rid of the A1000 and L9 and attach the MSL5026. Cabling is all
correct, as are scsi IDs. the manual for the 5026 says "to connect the
library to a host you must have at least one wide LVD controller and
appropriate driver software". The driver will be comming from veritas NBU.

I can not get the 5026 to show up via "probe-scsi-all". Ive tried many
things. Is this a ultra v ultra2 scsi problem?

Thanks in advance
