Data Problem with SCSI DAT drive on Ultra 10

I will be honest I am quite new to UNIX and Solaris so this may be a simple thing.

I have just purchased a Sun (rebranded HP obviously) DAT DDS3 SCSI tape drive for my Sun Ultra 10 running Solaris 10.

I have previously fitted a SCSI card to the box which has configured ok and can be seen from both within solaris and openboot.

I can use the device from within Solaris but Openboot does not see it.

I am currently studying for the Solaris Administrator Certification I and I am wanting to try backing up the system then restoring it from scratch, but if the device is not seen in open boot I dont know how I will manage that.

I have tried a boot -r and I have checked the show-devs command but nothing is showing as connected to my scsi card, yet when I load up Solaris I can use the device with no problems

can anyone help please

P.S I am a newbe to UNIX so sorry if this is somthing simple.

NAME
siop -- Symbios Logic/NCR 53c8xx SCSI driver SYNOPSIS
hp700 siop* at mainbus? irq 3 siop* at phatomas? irq 3 PCI siop* at pci? dev ? function ? options SIOP_SYMLED scsibus* at siop? DESCRIPTION
The siop driver provides support for the Symbios Logic/NCR 53x8xx series of SCSI controller chips: - 53c810, 53c810a and 53c815 (Fast SCSI) - 53c820, 53c825 and 53c825a (Fast-Wide SCSI) - 53c860 (Ultra SCSI) - 53c875 and 53c875j (Ultra-Wide SCSI) - 53c876 (Dual Ultra-Wide SCSI) - 53c885 (Ultra-Wide SCSI and Ethernet) - 53c895 (Ultra2-Wide SCSI) - 53c896 (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra2-Wide SCSI) - 53c1010-33 (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra160 SCSI) - 53c1510d (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra2-wide SCSI) The SIOP_SYMLED option causes the driver to report SCSI activity on the GPIO pin 1, which is connected to the activity LED on some adapters. At this time only the 53c895 based Symbios and Tekram adapters are known to require this. If both siop and the esiop(4) drivers are compiled, esiop(4) will take precedence for controllers it supports. SEE ALSO
cd(4), ch(4), esiop(4), intro(4), pci(4), scsi(4), sd(4), st(4), uk(4) HISTORY
The siop driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.5. AUTHORS
The siop driver was written by Manuel Bouyer <Manuel.Bouyer@lip6.fr> for NetBSD. BUGS
siop supports the 53c1010-33 in Ultra2-wide mode only. Use esiop(4) for Ultra160 support. BSD
