 if you are running Emulex FC HBA driver -- lpfc with this Emulex HBA  -
3). Configure with Emulex FC HBA
   a) Run Emulex HBAnyware or lputil utilities to find and record the target and
   lun of tape device
   b) For lpfc.30g or later, change these parameters for IBMtape driver in 
/kernel/drv/lpfc.conf and reboot.
  If you want the "IBMtape" driver as the default tape driver, set the 
parameter
 target-tape="IBMtape";
  If IBMtape is used as the default changer driver, modify the setting
 target-tapechanger="IBMtape";

  These parameters can also be made hba specific, by prefixing the 
parameter with "lpfcX-",
  where X is the lpfc instance number.
   c) Add the entry in the end of /usr/kernel/drv/IBMtape.conf
   name="IBMtape" parent="lpfc" target=0;
  If failed to configure the changer, you may need to add the entries:
   name="IBMtape" parent="lpfc" target=X lun=0;
   name="IBMtape" parent="lpfc" target=X lun=1;
   d) Update the entry for the device in IBMtape.conf if needed, the current 
entry in
  IBMtape.conf is added up to target 255 with Lun 0 and 1.
  For instance, add an entry for a mapped device with a traget 200 and lun 3
name="IBMtape" class="scsi" target=200 lun=3;
   e) Unload and reload IBMtape driver
   # /opt/IBMtape/tmd -s
   # rem_drv IBMtape
   # add_drv -m '* 0666 bin bin' IBMtape
   # /opt/IBMtape/tmd
   f) Display the configured devices information running /opt/IBMtape/tapelist 
-l


- if you are using Sun branded Emuelx HBA driver -- emlxs with this HBA  

4). Configure with Sun FC or SAS HBA
   a) Attach IBM tape devices on the host
   b) Install the appropriate version of Sun HBA driver
   c) Run # cfgadm -al to display the configuration between HBA and the tape 
device
  Run # cfgadm -al -o show_FCP_dev Ap_Id to show the medium changer 
configuration with HBA
  Run # cfgadm -c configure device to configure the tape device with the 
HBA if needed
   d) Install the IBMtape tape driver running # pkgadd command.
   e) Add the following appropriate lines in /etc/driver_aliases
  IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pXXX"
  IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.pXXX"

  where 01 is the type of tape drive and 08 is the type of medium changer,
  XXX is the product ID string in the standard inquiry data. In an example, 
for IBM
  LTO-2 drive with the product ID of ULT3580-TD2, XXX is ULT3580-TD2. The 
above entry
  needs to be add in the file.
 IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-TD2"

  A list of the entry for the supported IBM tape devices:
   For the tape drives:
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-TD1"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULTRIUM-TD1"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-TD2"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULTRIUM-TD2"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-TD3"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULTRIUM-TD3"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-HH3"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULTRIUM-HH3"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-TD4"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULTRIUM-TD4"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-HH4"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULTRIUM-HH4"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03590B1A"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03590E1A"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03590H1A"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03590E11"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03590H11"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03592J1A"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03592E05"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,01.vIBM.p03592E06"

   For the medium changers,
   IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p03584L32"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p03584L22"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.pULT3582-TL"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.pULT3583-TL"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.pULT3581-TA"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.pULT3581-TA2"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p03590B11"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p03590E11"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p03590H11"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p3576-MTL"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p3573-TL"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p3577-TL"
   IBMtape "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p3572-TL"

   Note:
 The entry is also added running # update_drv command on Solaris 8 
(need patch 111804-03),
 Solaris 9 and later version OS. For example,
# update_drv -av -i '"scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-TD2"' IBMtape

   f) Reboot the system running # reboot -- -r
   g) Run # /opt/IBMtape/tapelist -l to display the configured tape devices 
information

   Note:
All of the added entries will be removed by the operating system 
automatically once IBMtape is
unloaded from the kernel running # pkgrm, rem_drv, or modunload commands. 
We recommend the user
to backup these entries in a file, and re-enter the entries when you 
upgrade IBMtape driver
before to ru

Hello guys,
No one in the distribution list has solaris10 connected to tape SAN (either as 
TSM server or as LANFree client) with IBMtape?
 
Need your help/input!
 
Thanks,
Swapna.

anyone has configured LanFree on Solaris10?
I'm doing this in our environment but stuck with getting the devices in the 
format that TSM can use. Here is the background of it...
 
HBA: Emulex LP11002-E (4GB dual port card)
Client HW: Sunfire 480R
OS: Solaris 10 (SPARC sun4u)
 
Zoned device. Installed and configured IBMtape version 4.1.9. I can see the 
devices like /dev/rmt/*l,*b, *bc and *n but not *st devices.
 
Can somebody look at this to see where went wrong...
 
Thanks,
Swapna.
