Craig, Well, I have a Sun L20 connected to a SunFire V880 running Solaris 8 using Amanda for backup of about 50 systems. It uses HVD scsi Quantum DLT8000 drives and an HP C7200-8000 robotic controller. The Quantum drives were recognized and configured automatically under Solaris. The robotics had to be configured using the sgen driver.
The only change I needed to recognize the HP C7200-8000 changer was to modify the sgen.conf with the following lines: ======================================================== device-type-config-list="library"; inquiry-config-list= "HP", "C7200-8000"; ======================================================== and of course uncomment the: name="sgen" class="scsi" target=0 lun=0; . . . lines.
