Solaris 10 with 1/8 G2 Autoloader

[AndyHP]

Hello everybody,

I have Proliant DL 360 G6 with Solaris 10, Smart Array p212 and HP 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader (with SAS cable).

What steps should I take to make it work together? I haven't find any documentation for such configuration (Solaris + SAS + autoloader). Solaris doesn't see autoloader. /dev/rmt is empty.

cfgadm -al show me:
c2 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown
and nothing else relative c2

Can anybody help me?

Thanks

You might want to try that question in an area more familiar with Solaris on Proliant. I'm not familiar with the Solaris configuration but I have heard that lots of times st.conf needs to be modified. Sorry I know that isn't much help.

You will want to make certain that you have the latest Solaris driver from HP installed for your P212.

Sure, I have updated drivers for 212 and modified st.conf (as also as sgen.conf) but there is no success.
I'm a little bit confused that HP doesn't provide any manual for SAS Autoloader with Solaris (x86/x64)
Thank you anyway, I'll try to find solution on the Solaris forums.

There is information about configuring an LTO drive with Solaris at http://www.hp.com/go/ebs and selecting "EBS Design Guide"

I looked through EBS Design Guide. But my configuration is not described in that guide.
