I'm reluctant to bring that system down to the OBP level, as it
is our file server, and my wife depends on it even when I am playing
with another system. :-)
But I did run the "cdrecord -scanbus" and it did not see them,
though it saw others which were on the same EMC housing. Here is the
output of that as an example:

1,0,0 and 1,1,0 are the internal drives -- plain vanilla "ST3145607FC"s
as you can see. 1,10,0 through 1,15,0 are a zfs raidz2 array plus two
hot spares in the EMC housing which does not see the "FCV" drives.
5,0,0 and 5,4,0 are miscellaneous filesystems, and 5,8,0 through 5,13,0
are another zfs filesystem and one hot spare -- those (SCA drives) in a
D1000 hung on a HVD controller.
I was able to unmount the filesystems on 1,1,0 (and unexport
them) so I could pull that hot and plug in one of the FCV drives to see
whether it behaved any differently than the same drives in the EMC
drive bay. This drive which I pulled to test this one is a ST3145607FC
(without the 'V'), so I know that those work fine in the same bay.
> Do the drives appear to even be spinning up?
They do not -- based on the lack of a gyroscopic feel when I
pull them.

And they work fine in the Sun Fire 280R (I'm using two of them),
and when I bid on the eBay auction I didn't expect the 'V' suffix to
make a difference. It certainly did. :-(

I would expect it to see the non-V drives fine, since the same
system board is used in both the SB-1000 and the Sun Fire 280R in which
I am using two of the non-V versions of the drives.
There is a fibre channel multipack? What is the model number so
I can search for them in eBay. They seem to have come out after my
Field Engineer's Handbook (2000 -- it covers the SB-1000 but not the
SB-2000, and not the Sun Fire 280R.)
Thanks,
DoN.
