I'm an amanda newbie was evaluating it for use in a
lab I maintain.  I was wondering if anyone has an
Exabyte EZ17 Autoloader working with it on Solaris.

I am able to amdump and amrestore from it, but I
haven't delved into the changer stuff yet.  I had 2
veritas guys in trying to configure their very
expensive software and they never called me back after
they ran into some tape errors. (oh well for them). 
Anyway, I am confused on st.conf sgen.conf or if I
even need to touch those to make the changer appear. 
At one time, I noticed when I had veritas installed
cfgadm -al showed quite a few devices (I assume for
changer) but after un-installing it appears back to
normal (just showing rmt).

Any ideas on whether the autoloader works, or even if
it can be put into sequential mode, maybe amanda can
cycle through the tapes until it finds the right one? 
At one time I started on the mtx avenue to try to get
the changer to work (since I assumed at that point I
would be better off the get amanda working with it)
but I am stumped on not having an sg0 device or
whatever solaris calls it.
