How was the cloned_tapes file created? You should really let the filer create it for you. If you just edited it yourself, then try putting a comment line at the top - I haven't tested this but it may work - the format of the automatically-created file has commented-out first few lines.
Otherwise, delete the file and reboot (there will be an error message at boot telling you the tape drive is unsupported), then follow this procedure:
Do 'mt -f rst0a status' - this will create the file /etc/cloned_tapes
Edit the cloned_tapes file to map the product ID, ie. add a line:
DLT8000 EMULATES DLT7000
Do 'mt -f rst0a status' again.
Now 'sysconfig -t' should list the appropriate device files.
Note that there will still be an error message about an unsupported tape drive at boot, but it will all continue to work.
You might try omitting the reboot - I'm not sure if that will work, but if you follow the procedure above you should be fine.
There is a TIP on NOW but I thought sending you the URL would be a bit mean since you said you haven't got a working account presently!

Howdy,
At my day job, I've got a F720 running 5.3.4R2. I'm trying to attach a new ADIC FastStor 7 tape library to it.
The filer sees the changer and the drive:
slot 0: SCSI Host Adapter 0b (Qlogic ISP 1040B) Fast/Wide, Differential Firmware Version 4.65 Clock Rate 60MHz. 1: ADIC FastStor DLT 0115 3: QUANTUM DLT8000 010FBut it won't qualify the drive, even if I try using the /etc/cloned_tapes file.
disk0> sysconfig -t
Tape drive (0b.3) DLT8000 (Non-qualified tape drive)/etc/cloned_tapes: DLT8000 EMULATES DLT7000
(also tried QUANTUM DLT8000 EMULATES QUANTUM DLT7000).
Any ideas? Hopefully my registration on now.netapp.com will come thru sometime soon...
Thanks,
Bryan

Aha! That was the missing step. The (paper) manual seemed to indicate that /etc/cloned_tapes was created if needed by the reboot process, and mt was just for querying.
Now 'sysconfig -t' should list the appropriate device files.
Yep, that's got it!
I have a temporary NOW login - is there a document there with recommnded dump usage with DLTs? All the paper documentation seems to be lodged in the Exabyte timeframe.

From a Solaris 7 system we're seeing the same dates on all our snapshots (but 'snap list' on the filer gives the correct dates). The filer date is correct. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix or workaround?
Thanks much, Frank
PS Is there an archive of the toaster messages?

use "ls -lu" instead:
-u Use time of last access instead of last modification for sorting (with the -t option) or printing (with the -l option).

Yes, that's the date of the last modifcation of the root of that volume, /. If you want to see the create time, check the access time (which is not useful otherwise because it is a read-only fs).
I thought this was clearly discussed in the manual, but I'm reciting from memory, so I could be wrong. (I know there was something about snapshots and their reported timestaps.)

Sure it is. In the ONTAP 5.2 System Administrator's Guide:
pp. 267-268 "Example 2 of snap sched command". [The "Note" on p. 268 covers exactly the point Frank Gilmurray is confused about.] & p. 280 "Determining access times".
YSAGMV, but I would bet not by much...
