How to detach tape drive by command?

I'd like to detach one of SCSI tape drive which connected to host1 originally, and attach it to host2. Do I need to execute any command to release it from host1, or just pull the SCSI cable out from host1?Thanks.

I hope we are talking about an external tape unit.Yes just power the unit off and remove the cable. It will not require any other procedure.On host2 you will have run "cfgadm" or do a "boot -r" to get the OS to see it.

Oh~Thanks for the information. Yes, it is an external tape drive. However, is the command 'cfgadm' available for Solaris 8 that I am running? And before I attach the tape drive into host2, need to shutdown host2?
