media label

[JenniferCheng]

I use Netbackup sever 5.1 on Solaris 9. I can not configure device since it can not detect device. When testing devices using "Drive Diagnostics", it failed at "Basic Test", show error information "Could not find label on media".
In "Device Monitor", "Media Label" shows a dash (-). How can I label media?

You need to fix your solaris issues before netbackup is going to work. Try sgscan to see what is attached.

I checked sgscan, no warning is shown. Also I have installed and reconfigured sg driver. The library informaiton is as following:
