Does add_drv lb work?
Check that you are running the Solaris 64 bit kernel using "isainfo -b".
TSM server is not supported at 32 bit on Solaris 7 or 8.
Confirm that the mt and lb binaries agree with your kernel ("file mt" will
tell you if it is 64 bit or 32 bit).
Be warned - if you are using san-attached tapes, this release of the mt
driver is slightly b0rken. You will need the fixtest, or wait until the
june/july release of the server

The only sensible way to estimate the stability of a Windows
server is to power it down and try it out as a step ladder.

Subject: Solaris8 & Tape Drivers
Hello TSM'ers,
We are attempting to install TSM 4.1 on a Sun Solaris 8 platform.
The Server, License and Device packages install fine, and we can start the
TSM server succesfully.
Our problem occurs when we are trying to install the TSM Tape Drivers for
the DLT8000 Drive and Autochanger 9Slot library.
We have edited the mt.conf and lb.conf files correctly. The Unix midrange
person has succesfully written to the tape in the drive.
When we do the
add_drv command, we get the following error;
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: mt
Warning: Driver succesfully added but failed to attach.
Or similar.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Matt.
