The SCSI bus designated "c6" is stuck in an unconfigured state, and I cannot get the server to recognize the tape drive attached to this bus because the bus itself is not configured. Here's an example of what's happening:

# cfgadm -c configure c6
# cfgadm -al
Ap_Id                          Type         Receptacle   Occupant     Condition
c0                             scsi-bus     connected    configured   unknown
c0::dsk/c0t6d0                 CD-ROM       connected    configured   unknown
c1                             fc-private   connected    configured   unknown
c1::21000014c3cb097f           disk         connected    configured   unknown
c1::21000014c3cb09ca           disk         connected    configured   unknown
c2                             scsi-bus     connected    unconfigured unknown
c3                             fc-private   connected    configured   unknown
c3::202400a0b83aa034           disk         connected    configured   unknown
c6                             scsi-bus     connected    unconfigured unknown
c7                             scsi-bus     connected    unconfigured unknown
usb0/1                         unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
usb0/2                         unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
usb0/3                         unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
usb0/4                         unknown      empty        unconfigured ok

Note that c6 is still unconfigured. I have tried reboot -- -r and devfsadm but neither of these worked. I also tried using the -f option with the cfgadm configure command, but this also did not help.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Have you verified that the tape drive actually works (e.g. attached to another machine)? – James O'Gorman Jan 31 at 18:55

The problem turned out to be the terminator on the drive connected to the bus. At first, probe-scsi-all did not recognize the SCSI controller or the tape drive, but after I removed the terminator, it recognized everything correctly. I did a boot -r for good measure, and now the SCSI controller and tape drive both show up in Solaris. I still can't get it to read the tape, but that's not a problem for this thread. – Dave Jan 31 at 19:28
