thank you guys..
i was able to work on detecting the tape drive connected to an scsi card.
i was also able to use the mt status command to verify the status..
i have a question though..
in sun solaris, i had read that you can remove the tape drive without restarting the system using:
devfsadm -C -c tape -v
how is this exactly works?
- is it before i removed the tape drive, i will just type this command?
then just disconnect the tape drive and replace it with a new one?
then use
devfsadm again to rebuild the device tree after reconnecting?
sorry guys.. just really new to this one..
thanks a lot..

hello again..
i have found out that i can use:
# cfgadm -x remove_device c1
to remove my tape drive connected to scsi
and i can also use:
# cfgadm -x insert_device c1
to add another device..
thanks all..
