I haven't had any luck yet, but I really appreciate the suggestions. My

Firstly, does it show up in the output of
# cfgadm -lav
No, not that I can distinguish. I only see a bunch of empty unavailable usb
devices, such as:
When Type Busy Phys_Id
usb0/1 empty unconfigured ok
unavailable unknown n /devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1025,[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:1
...
usb2/8 empty unconfigured ok
unavailable unknown n /devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1025,[EMAIL
PROTECTED],2:8
This is kinda what I was expecting, unfortunately.
....
modunload st and run "devfsadm -i st".
devfsadm -i doesn't work it wants the numeric ID instead of the st symbolic. I
used modinfo to find it:
Id Loadaddr Size Info Rev Module Name
185 f9801000 12350 129 1 st (SCSI tape Driver 1.257)
Now that is quite weird. I've never had devfsadm tell me that
I can't give it a module name. Modunload, sure ... but not
devfsadm. Perhaps you typed the wrong thing?
You should be able to see in /var/adm/messages
whether there
are any tape drive instances discovered - look for
"st[0-9]"
in the messages file, or the kernel msgbuf.
No I don't see it in /var/adm/messages or the output of dmesg,
but something is telling the tape drive to reset when I boot
the computer.
/me thwaps forehead....
Brian, I should have asked you for prtconf -v output from
this system - we haven't checked whether your scsi hba is
actually supported. I reckon it probably isn't, but you'll
have to send me that prtconf output to confirm.
As to "why does my tape drive reset on host power-cycle?"
the answer is "because that's what the SCSI standard requires.
cheers,
