I have a SUN STOREDGE L8 tape library that I attached via SCSI to a SUN server running solaris 8. How do I configure solaris to recognise this tape library? Not really experienced with solaris/unix.

Two methods-
1) Issue the following commands (as root)- may not work, but avoids a reboot-
# drvconfig
# devlinks
# tapes
2) Do a reconfiguration reboot of the system-
# reboot -- -r OR
# touch /reconfigure; reboot
I would suggest looking at upgrading the system off of Solaris 8, as that OS release went intop the limited support model as of last April.

Method 1 worked. Thanks a mil.
This server is used for a test environment that's why we still have it a solaris 8 but eventually we would upgrade. Thanks again.
