st.conf entry for HP StorageWorks DAT 72 tape drive

We're using the following OS and hardware:

OS: Solaris 9 11/04
Hardware: HP ProLiant DL380 G4
Tape Drive: HP StorageWorks DAT 72i (C7438A)

The tape drive is connected to an HP 2-Channel Ultra320 SCSI controller.

The tape drive is detected by the BIOS when the server boots, but no
device files exist for the tape drive in /dev/rmt/. Running devfsadm
doesn't seem to help. After contacting HP and looking at
/kernel/drv/st.conf, I believe that a new entry for this drive needs to
be added to the configuration file.

Does anyone know what the entry looks like that needs to be added to
st.conf? How does one figure our what the entry should be? Besides maybe
rebooting, is there anything else that needs to be done to get the drive
working?

Thanks,
John Spurgeon
