Anyone has experience of tape drive installation on Ultra 10? I have a SCSI adapter installed in my Ultra 10. The DDS-3 tape drive is physically connected to the box via SCSI. But the solaris cannot pick it up. I'm following the docu called "12-24G 4mm DDS-3 tape drive installation user's guide" but not luck. There is nothing in /dev/rmt directory Please help!

You have to remake the /dev directory. Do any of the following:
reboot -- -r
touch /reconfigure ; reboot
devfsadm -v

I did. Nothing happened. Actually, I've tried on two different Ultra 10 and two SCSI cards just in case hardware problem. None of them works. Do I miss anything important on solaris configuration? Please help!

Are these cards listed as compatible with the ultra 10 ? Not every pc compatible PCI card will work.

What does the output of "show-dev" at the OK prompt tell you?

OK. It's working now. I think it's because of SCSI ID conflict. Appreciate your help.
