Hi, I've not been able to get solaris to detect a tape drive. The drive is an 
HP Ultrium 920 plugged into an external SCSI port on an HP DL380. When 
connected the BIOS shows that it has discovered the tape drive on channel 9.

I've run devfsadm and tapes, but I still get nothing in /dev/rmt. If I run 
devfsadm -i st I get the following message: "devfsadm: driver failed to attach: 
st"

This is my st.conf file:
name="st" class="scsi" target=0 lun=0;
name="st" class="scsi" target=1 lun=0;
name="st" class="scsi" target=2 lun=0;
name="st" class="scsi" target=3 lun=0;
name="st" class="scsi" target=4 lun=0;
name="st" class="scsi" target=5 lun=0;
name="st" class="scsi" target=6 lun=0;
name="st" class="scsi" target=9 lun=0;

Output of modinfo | grep SCSI:
 21 fead8250   dbcc 174   1  scsi_vhci (SCSI VHCI Driver 1.67)
 22 feae5cec   e858   -   1  scsi (SCSI Bus Utility Routines)
 39 feb4226c  1dac0  27   1  sd (SCSI Disk Driver 1.564)
164 f7f7b000  233d8  65   1  iscsi (iSCSI Initiator v20071030-1.52)
175 f7e91000  14aa8 129   1  st (SCSI tape Driver 1.269)

I notice that in /var/adm/messages theres no reference to any scsi device with 
target=9, but there are references to 7 other devices (6 harddrives and the 
cdrom drive) with targets 0 to 7.

The tape drive works under OSX (and the BIOS can see it).

I've seen many references to probe-scsi-all command from the ok prompt, but I 
don't know how to get to the ok prompt. If I type "sync; sync; init 0" as 
suggested it just comes up with a message "Press any key to reboot"

I don't really know where to go from here
