Connecting an array and a tape library
I am a solaris noob. I have a SPARC enterprise T5120 server which i am trying to connect 1 StorEdge 3300 and 1 StorageWorks MSL2024 tape library. Each device is connecting to 1 pci card on the server. I can see the array when i run the format command but i can't seem to detect the tape library.
