Very Computer

I have the following configuration:

Ultra 5 Solaris 7 64-bit with PCI SCSI card X6540A and a Sun Unipack
4mm DDS2 tape drive (the manufacturer of the tape seems to be
Seagate). SCSI ID of the tapedrive is 4, and the tape is the only
device on the SCSI BUS. The Unipack is auto terminated. I have no
problems seeing the SCSI card, but for some reason the tape drive is
not visible, and the system doesn't create a symbolic link in the
/dev/rmt/ directory upon touch /reconfigure boot.

Are there any 64-bit drivers, patches or workarounds I need to apply
to make the drive work on my system? The tapedrive didn't come with
any patches or driver software, so any help is appreciated.

Below are the device info and dmesg.

Thanks for your help,

Martin

Did you edit /kernel/drv/st.conf and add (or uncomment) the appropriate
stanzas for your particular brand of tape drive?  You might look on
Seagte's web site for the appropriate entry.

tape-config-list=
"TANDBERG TDC 4200", "Tandberg 2.5 Gig QIC","TAND-25G-VAR";
TAND-25G-FIXED=1,0x37,512,0x867a,1,0x00,0;
TAND-25G-VAR=1,0x37,0,0x867b,1,0x00,0;

Have not been able to verify that with Seagate though.

A "probe-scsi-all" at the OK prompt should display at least
some of the inquiry data that the drive provides.  Your best
bet would be to check Seagate's web site, though.
