Hi Gabriele,
You have listed the tape drive rather than the changer device in sgen.conf.

This won't work :(

Check the output of "cfgadm -lav -o show_SCSI_dev" and look for the
changer device entry. Then find that device in your prtconf -v output and
replace the "CERTANCE", "ULTRIUM 3" above with the correct details.
Then run update_drv on the sgen driver.

best regards,
James C. McPherson
