Unable to see IBM Ultrium LTO tape drives

Hi all,

I have a Storagetek Tape Libraray L180 with IBM Ultrium LTO tape drives
which are connected through a Fibre Channel bridges and a switch to Sun Fire
v880R server on Qlogic QLA2200 adapter. There are 4 tape drives in the
library

I have two problems:

1). I am able to see only one drive out of 4 drives, when issue the command
at boot prom

OK probe-scsi-all

or

OK select <Qlogic adapter>
OK show-children

But when I use the Qlogic Utility after boot the server, I could see all the
four drives and the www numbers for the corresponding drives

2). After I issued boot -rv I was unable to configure the st driver for the
one drive which has been detected. i.e no entries in /dev/rmt for the drive.
Do I need to add any entries in st.conf for the IBM ultrium LTO tape drives

If anybody encountered this kind of peoblems please share with me.

Thanks & Regards
Arun
