Question DDS-2 Sun tape drive

Hey guys,

I'm trying to mount a SUN DDS-2 tape drive on a SUN Ultra 80 machine running Solaris 9. I had the SCSI drive connected at time of install, I'm very new to Solaris so I don't know if Solaris would detect the drive like that and install some form of device driver. But, what im posting for is just some info on how to mount this...do i need drivers???? any info would help.

Thanks in advance...
