Modifying the
st.conf
File
The Solaris software environment recognizes all tape devices that were supported by
Sun when your operating system was released. If your system uses SunOS releases
5.5 or 5.5.1, which were released before the Sun StorEdge L400 tape library, you need
to modify the
/kernel/drv/st.conf
file so that your Solaris software will
recognize the tape drives inside of the tape library.
If you are familiar with this procedure, go to Section B.2, “Modifying the
st.conf
File.”. For more information on this procedure, go to Section B.1, “Understanding
the
st.conf
File.”
