URGENT,URGENT- Need help tape drive installation

Hi,

I am trying to attach tape drive to sun V890 running Solaris 9 on it.
I have installed HBA(qlogic) in slot 1 of 0-8 slots and booted the system. I do not see HBAin prtdiag output. The tape drive is not attached to HBA. The tape drive I am going to attach is Sony AIT3.

1.How can I make my system see the HBA?
2.I Know this is a qlogic HBA and got it from SUN Micro systems.
3.Do I have to install any drivrers to see the system?
4.I do have similer one on another system and what should I check(config Information) to compare it.
5. Do I have to connect to make system see this?

Please Give me steps resolve this issue.

Is there any documentation on the net that gives me step by step installation/configuration of tape drive on soalris 9.

Thanks.

Been a while since I did this but I think the first step you need to do is to do a boot -s comand so the system knows to detect and configure the new hardware.

Its boot -r
boot -s drops the system down to single user mode, But you don't need to reboot, with the tape drive attached a devfsadm is all that is needed.
