Hi group

I'm desperate for help and I'm hoping a guru is out there waiting to help.

I have just installed 4 new hard disks into an existing D1000 but Solaris
cannot see them. They are visible to the OBP when running a probe-scsi-all
:

/pci@8,700000/scsi@2
Target 0
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 032C
Target 1
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 032C
Target 2
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 0326
Target 3
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST336607LSUN36G 0307
Target 4
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST336607LSUN36G 0307
Target 8
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 032C
Target 9
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 032C
Target a
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST336704LSUN36G 0326
Target b
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST336607LSUN36G 0307
Target c
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST336607LSUN36G 0307
Target e
Unit 0 Processor SYMBIOS D1000 2
Target f
Unit 0 Processor SYMBIOS D1000 2

(The new disks all have the 0307 firmware)

But whenever I run a devfsadm, touch reconfigure boot or a boot -- -r they
are never visible to format, only the original disks in the D1000 and the 2
internal root disks.

I'm now starting to run out of ideas of what to try, there is nothing to
change in /kernel/drv/sd.conf as these targets are already defined by
default.

I have done a boot net -s off of my jumpstart server and the disks are
immediately visible to format but not through the OS on the root disk. So I
believe the problem is with the OS rather than being a hardware fault.

Can anyone give me some other places to look?? I've searched sunsolve and
net to no avail.

Thanks in advance, Paul.

Are you running devfsadm -C ?
what does luxadm probe return ?

Try running:
devlinks
disks

Good morning all!

Post your technical queries to ap-csc-english@sun.com if you are based in
the Asia Pacific region (including Australia and New Zealand). This is the
Technical Support area. They should be able to point you in the right
direction.

However, unless you have a Cobalt machine - all other hardware and software
support requires you to have a valid maintenance contract number with Sun.
If you don't have one, be prepared to pay for time and materials costs.

Best regards
Andrew
