After configuring the /devices and /dev directories, links will be created in the appropriate directories for the various target drivers.

Each TAOS device requires a separate instance of the HBA device driver, and will appear as a separate SCSI adapter. The device driver’s config file /usr/kernel/drv/TAOSitp.conf has one line for each possible instance. Because changes to this file would only be recognized after a reboot, the maximum number of 16 instances are defined in this file by default. To add more TAOS devices at a later time, re-run the discovery process.

1.If you are using backup software, complete any kernel modifications required by the application.

2.Reboot the system using the boot -rcommand.

3.After rebooting, verify that the kernel modifications are correct as follows:

i.Insert a tape into a drive using the front panel interface.

ii.From Solaris command line, run the command:

mt -f /dev/rmt/<device file> status

where <device file> is the specific device file for the tape drive in which the tape is located.

iii.All Solaris machines return the value: Sony AIT

If a different value displays, you have not modified st.conf correctly; repeat the entire procedure.
