Hi I'm interested in your experiment, but unfortunately I do not have a LTO5 connected to an openindiana host.

However it seems that the library is not recognized by the driver, have you tried to probe the correct devices ?
search for a file that is on /usr/kernel/drv/IBMtape.conf.
from the solaris read me ftp://ftp.cac.psu.edu/mirror/devdrvr/Solaris/IBMtape.README :
"

6) Add the entries up to target 255 in IBMtape.conf
   The new IBMtape.conf will help IBMtape driver to probe those devices which 
are mapped
   over target 15 by HBA driver.

   For new install, the new IBMtape.conf with a SCSI target range from 0 to 255 
is copied to
   the directory of /usr/kernel/drv/.

   For the update, IBMtape driver doesn't overwrite the old IBMtape.conf in the 
directory of
   /usr/kernel/drv during its installation. To use the new IBMtape.conf, the 
user needs to
   backup the original file of IBMtape.conf in /usr/kernel/drv, copy 
IBMtape.conf from the
   directory of /opt/IBMtape to /usr/kernel/drv, and modify the new 
IBMtape.conf according
   the original file of IBMtape.conf. It will take effect after the system 
reboot or IBMtape
   driver is reloaded in the kernel.

Greetings

Hello !

I'm trying to use Openindiana 151a with IBM TS3100 tapelibrary.
IBM TS3100 tape library has LTO5 drive (IBM HH LTO5 SAS DRIVE) which
has external SAS interface. This LTO5 drive is connected to server
6Gbs SAS HBA adapter

IBM 6Gb SAS (IRONWILLE) adapter
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0776.html

Openindiana installation went well after that i installed IBMtape :

All we went almost well installation package installed
well but no drivers generated to /dev/rmt

Then i looked dmesg output and discovered that then i try to load driver

add_drv -m  '* 0666 bin bin' IBMtape

or to reload drivers

modload -p drv/IBMtape

The follwing messages appera in dmesg output and /var/adm/messages file

IBMtape: [ID 243001 kern.info] IBMtape _probe: unconfigured target-lun

I would be very pleased if some could help to solve this problem !
I hope that this problem is solvable.
