My original question was that the DLT drive takes too long (2 hours) to
position itself using SOlstice Backup.
I received a few replies and the correct answer were from :
John Stoffel <jfs@fluent.com> and peter.bestel@uniq.com.au
It was a missing missing entry for DLT in /kernel/drv/st.conf.
The st.conf entry from SunSolve is as follows :
tape-config-list=
"SUN DLT4000", "Quantum DLT 4000", "QDLT";
#
QDLT =1,0x36,0,0xD639,4,0x80,0x81,0x82,0x83,2;
