Solaris 10 cannot recognize tape device in library.

807557Feb 23 2010 — edited Feb 25 2010

We have a DLT7000 tape device in a Quantum PX100 library connected to a Solaris 10 server via SCSI Adapter: X6541A. We can see the tape drive via OBP:

/pci@1e,600000/scsi@2
Target b
Unit 0 Removable Tape QUANTUM DLT7000 2565

But when Solaris 10 is loaded, there are no rmt links in the device tree. I've looked at devlinks and st.conf and made the changes I've read about online, but nothing seems to work. I've installed the following QLOGIC drivers, but they do not help. The only thing left is verifying jumpers? Terminators? But the question remains, if the system sees the tape drive at the OBP, then what's going on with the software? There's an sgen.conf file in /kernel/drv, but no sgscan type commands are available to use. I'm at a loss.
