Hey Ryan,
I used an sgen.conf provided by Tandeberg support. I'm not sure if its
in their Knowledge Base. Here is what I've got
# Exabyte Magnum 224 tape library
#
sgen-diag=3;
#
device-type-config-list="changer";
#
inquiry-config-list= "EXABYTE", "Magnum 224";
#inquiry-config-list= "EXABYTE", "*";
#inquiry-config-list= "EXABYTE";
#
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=0 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=1 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=2 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=3 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=4 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=5 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=6 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=7 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=8 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=9 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=10 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=11 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=12 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=13 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=14 lun=1;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=15 lun=1;
# end Exabyte Magnum 224
Then I ran "add_drv sgen" and "devfsadm". That created
/dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1.
Let me know if you get a working mtx-changer script.

Not to distract folks from your question, but I'm looking for a way to
do this for a single tape drive so I can use smartmontools on it... do
you have a pointer for a resource on setting up the sgen.conf file? I've
been looking and not finding much (though I only suspected sgen was
involved until this e-mail).
