Tape drive not showing in SMH
We just migrated from an old PA-RISC system to a new rx2800 running 11iv3. I'm trying to get used to the System Management Homepage for general admin tasks. When attempting to do a test backup or restore, the external Ultrium tape is not shown in the device list. I'm looking under Home/System Configuration/Disks and File Systems/Backup and Recovery. Under the 'Device File' drop down list all I see are options for /dev/rtape/tape2_BEST, although the 'Device Description' field shows 'HP Ultrium 4-SCSI'. The nightly backup jobs scheduled through CRON are working, so the device drivers are installed properly. Can anyone tell me how to make the drive show up in SMH?
Thanks,
Joe

Hey folks,
Linux admin here, forced to use Opensolaris to try to use ufsdump/ufsrestore to get some data of some old tapes.
I've got Opensolaris 2009.06 on x86 and a Sony SDX-700V.
As a "control" experiment, I booted the system with a Linux live CD and the tape drive worked perfectly.
