I have a Dell PowerVault TL2000 tape library which I'd like to connect directly

Do I need to modify /kernel/drv/sgen.conf and add a changer? I tried to use 
add_drv as the sgen.conf file suggests, but sgen was already in use (even 
though everything is commented out in the sgen.conf file).


We have a Dell PowerVault on an old Sun Sparc (Solaris) connected via scsi.
The configuration might be similar in openindiana.

To recognize the changer, the following is defined in /kernel/drv/sgen.conf matching the SCSI identifier of the changer.

device-type-config-list="changer";
inquiry-config-list=    "DELL",         "PV-124T";
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=0 lun=0;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=1 lun=0;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=2 lun=0;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=3 lun=0;
(etc for all targets)

after a reconfiguration reboot, the device shows up in
/dev/scsi/changer/c?t?d?

and use the "mtx" program to control it.

# mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c0t5d1 status
  Storage Changer /dev/scsi/changer/c0t5d1:1 Drives, 16 Slots ( 0 Import/Export 
)
Data Transfer Element 0:Empty
      Storage Element 1:Full
      Storage Element 2:Full
      Storage Element 3:Full
(etc)
