DLT8000 and Sunfire 880 more info

Sorry all but I should have made my question a little clearer as well as what I
have tried.

The cards have the correct drivers since the D2s that are hooked up are working
correctly.

Tried the devfsadm and reconfigure; reboot several times. Drive is just using
target 4 so shouldn't have to do anything to the st.conf unless lun is
incorrect. Here is output from probe-scsi-all showing on own scsi. The scsi
cards are the sun cards with 2 scsi connections and have even tried to set to
different target id that is not in use by the second scsi connection with no
luck either. The device doesn't show up using 'iostat -En' either. There must
be some trigger that turns the tape on or allows from the scsi card. The main
common factor is that both scsi connectors are being used on the card (one for
the tape drive and one for D2 array) so not sure if unique problem with the scsi
card but doubt it.

It looks like dmesg sees the drive:

Dec 5 08:53:58 ind-sc1 genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] qus3 is

drwxr-xr-x 18 root sys 7168 Dec 4 16:23 ..
#

It just will not build the devices. Tried using drvconfig and cfgadm as well
with no luck.

Also, looking in the /kernel/drv/st.conf:

# more /kernel/drv/st.conf

#
# The officially supported devices are :

# -----
# 1 Drive is configured automatically - no entry is needed in st.conf.

Since the drive is configured automatically, I should not have to enter anything
in the st.conf if the target is below 7 unless the lun is incorrect.

The terminator is also in the correct location.

Thanks for your suggestions so far.

------------- Begin Forwarded Message -------------

I have 2 Sunfire 880 servers with Solaris 8 that for some reason do not see the
attached DLT8000 tape drives. Probe-scsi-all at the ok prompt show the tape
drives and they are on their own scsi bus. Has anyone else had this problem?
Tried several reconfiguration reboots to no avail.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
