y

to accept devices.

After configuring the

/devices

and

/dev

directories, links will be

created in the appropriate directories for the various target drivers.

Each TAOS device requires a separate instance of the HBA device driver,
and will appear as a separate SCSI adapter. The device driver’s config file

/usr/kernel/drv/TAOSitp.conf

has one line for each possible

instance. Because changes to this file would only be recognized after a
reboot, the maximum number of 16 instances are defined in this file by
default. To add more TAOS devices at a later time, re-run the discovery
process.

1.

If you are using backup software, complete any kernel modifications
required by the application.

Reboot the system using the

boot -r

command.

After rebooting, verify that the kernel modifications are correct as
follows:

i. Insert a tape into a drive using the front panel

interface.

ii.From Solaris command line, run the command:

mt -f /dev/rmt/<device file> status

where

<device file>

is the specific device file for

the tape drive in which the tape is located.

iii.All Solaris machines return the value:

Sony AIT

If a different value displays, you have not modified

st.conf

correctly;

repeat the entire procedure.
