Default Tape Drive Installation

Hello,

I have a Sunblade 100 running Solaris a with a single-ended single channel
scsi adapter installed. I'm currently trying to install an Exabyte 8500 8mm
tape drive to retrieve some data archived long ago. My difficulty is :

at the ok prompt, typing

ok probe-scsi-all

I get something like

target 6

unit 0 EXABYTE 8500----------
unit 1 EXABYTE 8500----------
unit 2 EXABYTE 8500----------
unit 3 EXABYTE 8500----------
unit 4 EXABYTE 8500----------
unit 5 EXABYTE 8500----------
unit 6 EXABYTE 8500----------
unit 7 EXABYTE 8500----------



I have it terminated and I've tried several different cables. I'm probably
doing something silly, but I've never encountered this before.

Thanks,
Eli

Probably you gave it the same SCSI ID than the controller. That's
pretty silly, actually
