Hello !

I tried generic st driver , but without success


Then i tried to load st draiver 

add_drv -m '* 0666 bin bin' st
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: st
Warning: Driver (st) successfully added to system but failed to attach

Or

devfsadm -v -i st
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: st
exit status = 1

No files found under  /drv/mnt

And modinfo gives following output

modinfo | grep " st "
262 fffffffff803f000  209d8 270   1  st (SCSI tape Driver)

Comman cfgadm -alv gives floowung output

Ap_Id                          Receptacle   Occupant     Condition  Information
When         Type         Busy     Phys_Id
c3                             connected    unconfigured unknown

/devices/pci at 0,0/pci8086,340e at 7/pci1014,3ca at 0/iport at 8:scsi

If i undestand correctly  device must be connected and configured
