I believe there was a pretty good description of how to do this in the TSM
Installation Guide for Solaris. You should be able to find it online of it
may have come with your software. My recollection was that you actually
deleted the device files, edited the .conf files and then reconfigured the
devices. I don't remember the exact syntax, but the book has it. If you
can't find the book yourself, echo back here and I'll try to find it.

Thanks - that seems to agree with what the book tells me too, although I
have to say it's not entirely clear about it. There ought to be a big
warning "Don't do a boot -r when you plug in the library".
Does anyone know how to remove library and drive devices from Solaris? Is
there a way that doesn't involve physically unplugging the SCSI cable? My
server is in a remote location, with nobody onsite able to help.
