Well, that didn't help, did an early morning reboot and same results.

But I do have it figured out.

Turns out was a hole problem, had the cable going into the wrong hole on the
e4500.

We bought that thing used and never did figure out what was jammed into the
thing. It came with these db9 (sort of) to fiber adapters, with labels
saying something like RAID-1(A) and RAID-2(B).

Anyway, long story short, there is a JNI FC64-1063 card in each card along
with those adapters which are marked MDB 9-6-1.

Tis not where the A5200 plugs into.

Using a regular 370-2303-03 it works fine.

I'd guess that JNI/MDB combo is some kind of high-performace fiber thing,
but although several web pages have it for Solaris, don't really see what
drivers or software is needed to enable it/them.

So thanks to those who replied and emailed, appreciate it.
