They function normally. (I'll confirm with tar and mt)
The changer device does not show up and /var/adm/messages posts the following:

I suppose the changer must be configured as a normal sgen device ... but how to enforce
this and why the "online" error message ?
The technical answer for the "online" error is because mdi_pi_online()
and ndi_devi_online() both failed. The user friendly answer is Solaris
failed to find and online a configured target driver (sd, st, ...) for
your device based on its inquiry information.
You can resolve this by using the command update_drv to add the proper
/etc/driver_aliases mapping for the sgen. Since I never remember the
correct syntax to update_drv the other way to do this is to add the below
entry to /etc/driver_alias and reboot. The correct way avoids the reboot
and makes sure you don't mess up /etc/driver_alias.
sgen "scsiclass,08 </source/s?path=08.bfcp>"
