LTO2 drive on E450 (/dev/rmt device missing)
Help! Please!
I am running Sol9 (rel9/04) on an E450 - I know a bit old but it works for what I need.
My problem is I cannot see the lto2 tape drive that has been added via an ultra3 scsi HBA (Part N0:X6758A).
probe-scsi-all from the ok prompt shows the hba but no device (yes it is powered on).
9 Recommended patches have been applied, OBP has been brought up to the latest release, still no joy.
cfgadm -al shows the hba controllers as unconfigured
cfgadm -c configure c2and then c3 followed by ...
devfsadm
shows nothing in /dev/rmt
Why?

If you can't see the device in probe-scsi-all, I doubt the OS is going to. You need to fix that first.
Are you sure the HBA appearing in probe-scsi-all is the one you're plugged into? Can you post the output and tell us what slot it's in?

I wouldn't worry about the OS until you can explain the absence from the OBP.

Seeing the device from the OBP seems like sound advice. I have put the HBA in /pci@6,2000/pci@1/
Output from probe-scsi-all
{1} ok probe-scsi-all
/pci@6,2000/pci@1/scsi@5

I will try another slot just in case the slot is no good.
Look forward to your reply.

X6758A LVD card?
FRU part number 375-3057 ?
Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 ?
Did you install the drivers?
Nothing will work without the SUNWqu** packages, as noted in the documentation for the card.
SSH product notes for that card:
<1> The minimum operating system is Solaris 8 with the Recommended Patch Cluster.
<2> The necessary drivers (SUNWqus & SUNWqusu) and patches for this product
are not included in Solaris 8 or 9, but must be downloaded.
<3> Please see the Release Notes, 816-2157, for downloading details.
