Hello Jozef, I just got thru doing something like this with a similar setup: we use Emulex LP8000 cards for the HBA's onto an IBM 3584 with LTO drives and a Mcdata switch. There are 4 things that need to be done or it won't work: 0. Ensure that you've moved the /kernel/drv/st.conf somewhere else. Solaris will try and grab your scsi tape devices otherwise. 1. Make sure your fabric is set up correctly and that at boot up (ck the /var/adm/messages files) you see your IBMtape device drivers and HBA acquired targets. Here's a clip of what I'm talking about:

Next check that your /usr/kernel/drv/IBMtape.conf file has the requisite objects not #'d out. We typically leave all 16 instances open.

My environment is as follows: TSM server 4.2.1.9 on Sun Solaris 2.8 with Sun PCI FC HBA (OEM of Qlogic 2200) - part No. X6799A with device driver Qlogic FCA Driver v0.40.5. Library contains one Quantum DLT7000 drive and is attached to Crossroads 4250. TSM server and Crossroads are attached to FC switch Brocade Silkworm. In Solaris I can see DLT drive and Library, but when I try to use TSM device driver (using command "add_drv mt") it runs without any error messages, but it does not create special device file in directory /dev/rmt. Does anyone of you, guys, have gone through this with success? If yes, can you please share your configuration and versions of device drivers, firmware and so on? I am also going to ask Tivoli support if Sun FC HBA has already been tested with TSM. Ing. Jozef Zatko Login a.s. Dlha 2, Stupava tel.: (421) (2) 60252618
