[OpenIndiana-discuss] Process to install tape changer?

[Kurt Richman]

I have a Dell PowerVault TL2000 tape library which I'd like to connect directly to our OpenIndiana server. The drives on the TL2000 are connected via SAS and show show up under /dev/rmt/, but I'm not sure how to add the Tape changer.

# mt -f /dev/rmt/0 status
IBM     ULT3580-HH4      tape drive:
   sense key(0x0)= No Additional Sense   residual= 0   retries= 0
   file no= 0   block no= 0

# mt -f /dev/rmt/0 config
"IBM     ULT3580-HH4", "IBM     ULT3580-HH4     ", "CFGIBMULT3580HH4";
CFGIBMULT3580HH4 = 2,0x3B,0,0x1018619,4,0x44,0x44,0x46,0x46,3,60,1920,780,19980,1020,1020,19200;

Do I need to modify /kernel/drv/sgen.conf and add a changer? I tried to use add_drv as the sgen.conf file suggests, but sgen was already in use (even though everything is commented out in the sgen.conf file).

# add_drv -i "'IBM     ULT3580-HH4' 'IBM     ULT3580-HH4     ' 'CFGIBMULT3580HH4'" sgen
("sgen") already in use as a driver or alias.

Is there something I'm missing? Thank you for your help,

-Kurt
