hi
i have a 4 mm tape drive of HP Surestore 6000 on e3500,running solaris 8
patch level 12.the tape drive is getting detected at "ok probe-scsi-all"
but after "ok boot -r" or numerous "devfsadm" the tape drive isnt getting
recognised by solaris...then i tried out
# cd /dev/rmt
#rm 0*
#devfsadm -C -c tape
now it recreates the files /dev/rmt/0*
but
#mt -f /dev/rmt/0 status
it waits for sometime then gives "no tape loaded or drive offline"
i have tried it with "dds1" , "dds2" , "dds3" tapes & changed the scsi
ports to which it is connected on the server.
am i missing out on anything like editing "st.conf" etc.this server is
also having "sun L400 & L9 storage" attached but on differnt cards.
regards
ashish
