I don't believe this is an amanda problem, but a solaris kernel problem. Unforch, I'll leave the definitive solaris answers to Jon. If its anything like linux, then you should find the correct device in the /var/log/dmesg (or whatever solaris calls it) file. If its not there, the next question is, is solaris doing a 'scan all luns' on boot, I believe it must in order to find the changer robot since many of them are located at the same bus address as the drive itself, but at a higher Logical Unit Number, aka 'lun'. For a linux kernel, this must be turned on in the kernel config and the kernel rebuilt as it doesn't default to on. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.23% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
