The SAN security driver for Solaris (sd_fcst) replaces the sd SCSI disk driver for host bus adapters (HBAs)
that security is desired on. The sd_fcst driver only controls disk-type devices. Tape devices are not secured
because they are controlled through the st SCSI tape device driver, so tape devices are accessible to all
nodes, but only one node at a time can write to a tape device.

:
1. Find out the target ID of the tape device.
Note If the tape device is connected via a hub, its ID will be between 0 and 126. You may
be able to set the target ID on the tape device or SCSI to Fibre Channel router. If the
tape device is connected via fabric, the ID will be between 128 and 128 plus the
number of disk devices on the switch, plus the number of tape devices on the
switch.
2. Edit the /kernel/drv/st.conf file to make the st driver look for tape devices attached to the Fibre
Channel HBA. The following is a sample entry:
name="st" class="tran_scsi" target=0 lun=0
An entry is required for each target and logical unit number (LUN) combination that may contain a tape
device. It is acceptable to add entries for targets 0 through 126, or 128 through 255, but the process will
be simplified if you can narrow the range of possible IDs.
3. Use one of the following commands to perform a reconfiguration boot:
boot -r at the ok prompt or reboot -- -r at the OS prompt
4. To decrease boot time, perform the following optional step. Enter the command ls -l /dev/rmt to view
the target ID of the tape device. Comment out the other entries in the /kernel/drv/st.conf file.
