Do you have any entries under /dev/changers or /dev/scsi/*? Using the Solaris "sgen" driver (scsi general) others have reported that they get devices /dev/changer/???. I get something under /dev/scsi/sequential/???. From that I manually create a /dev/changer/??? link because it "makes sense". Check the archives or your vendors docs for comments about setting up /kernel/drv/sgen.conf if you haven't already done so. You say your tapedevice is /dev/rmt/1. What is /dev/rmt/0? Do you have another tape drive? If not, maybe you should remove all the symbolic links in /dev/rmt and run devfsadm(1m) to recreate them. If both reappear, then perhaps one is the tape drive and the other is the changer device. I get both the /dev/scsi device from the sgen driver and an extra /dev/rmt device from the st driver. The latter is also my changer, I can use either. -- Jon H. LaBadie [EMAIL PROTECTED] JG Computing 4455 Province Line Road (609) 252-0159 Princeton, NJ 08540-4322 (609) 683-7220 (fax)
