Just like to thank everyone for their help with my PCI Card issue with my
Sun Blade 100 with a previous posting.

Have overcome one problem, but now have another.

I have fitted Two (x2) of the following cards to a Sun Blade 100 with Sun
Solaris 10 ;

SUN Swift SCSI & Ethernet PCI Card 501-2741 X1032A

One card is attached to PCI Slot 1 and the other to PCI Slot 2.

1. Attached a SDT-9000 Tape Drive to Card in PCI Slot 1

OK> probe-scsi-all

/pci@1f,0/pci@5/pci@2/SUNW,isptwo@4

Target 4

Unit 0 Removal Tape Sony SDT-9000 0400

/pci@1f,0/pci@5/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4

2. Attached SDT-9000 Tape Drive to Card in PCI Slot 2

OK> probe-scsi-all

/pci@1f,0/pci@5/pci@2/SUNW,isptwo@4

/pci@1f,0/pci@5/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4

Target 4

Unit 0 Removal Tape Sony SDT-9000 0400

3. When I perform the following command ;

# ufsrestore i

When using PCI Card 1 - O.K

When using PCI Card 2 - /dev/rmt/0 : No such file or directory

4. When configuring for new devices, performed the following ;

touch ./reconfigure

(NB : At the time the Sony SDT-9000 was attached to PCI Slot 1)

Has anyone any ideas, why the External device is seen by both PCI Cards, but
when using ufsrestore - is only functional when external device is attached
to PCI Slot 1 ? (Do I need to rerun touch ./reconfigure with the tape drive
attached to PCI Card Slot 2 ?)

Look forward to your response.
