If you have a StorageTek tape drive attached to a SAN, which is being used by Veritas Netbackup SSO, the Sun Management Center 3.5 Sun Fire 15K/12K Domain Config Reader is not compatible with the Veritas Netbackup SSO implementation. The Domain Config Reader does not issue commands that change the state or tape position of the device.
