+If one wants to get a virtual tape library (vtl) working on a Solaris initiator
+(and this target of course under Linux) then it is rather simple to get a tape drive
+working. Getting the changer device working under Solaris (OpenSolaris) take a bit
+more effort. This file describes the way to do it.
+
+Although most of it is probably well know to Solaris fans, it took me a bit of time
+to figure out to get the vtl (virtual tape library) target working fine under opensolaris.
+For those who want to give it a try, here are the commands:
+
+
+For normal disk and cd targets no files have to be changed. All you need is the following:
+
+# svcadm enable iscsi_initiator
+
+and check if it is online:
+
+# svcs iscsi_initiator
+
+the state should be online.
+
+Now we add the discovery address to the initiator:
+
+# iscsiadm add discovery-address <IP of target>
+
+Now we configure the discovery mode to sendtargets:
+
+# iscsiadm modify discovery -t enable
+
+Check the target:
+
+# iscsiadm list target -S
+
+And create the device files:
+
+# devfsadm -i iscsi
+
+
+Tape devices will be shown properly, but not the changer device, this takes a bit more work.
+Two files need to be changed, and a reboot is needed to set things up properly.
+
+In the file /etc/driver_aliases the two lines
+
+sgen "scsa,08.bfcp"
+sgen "scsa,08.bvhci"
+
+need to be replaced with
+
+sgen "scsiclass,08"
+
+
+The file /kernel/drv/sgen.conf, which is basically all commented out
+needs to have the following lines:
+
+device-type-config-list="changer","sequential";
+inquiry-config-list= "*", "*";
+
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=0 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=1 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=2 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=3 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=4 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=5 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=6 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=7 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=8 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=9 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=10 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=11 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=12 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=13 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=14 lun=4;
+name="sgen" class="scsi" target=15 lun=4;
+
+
+For the last bit it should be noted that my changer was set to lun 4,
+and since I don't know which target I put all target numbers in (0-15).
+
+After these modifications the best is to reboot the machine, and do the iscsi commands
+above, and he presto it works:
+
+In my case, three tape drives and one changer:
