[Suns-at-Home] Sunblade 1000 doesn't detect FCAL disk!

[Craig Dewick]

This one still hasn't been solved, but I think I might have mentioned that 
I can detect the FCAL disk using the OBP commands, though it still isn't 
picked up by Solaris when the kernel loads and boots.

Checking through the list of installed packages using 'pkginfo' shows I've 
got the following fibre-channel-related packages installed at present:

system SUNWfcip Sun FCIP IP/ARP over FibreChannel Device Driver
system SUNWfcipx Sun FCIP IP/ARP over FibreChannel Device Driver (64-bit)
system SUNWfctl Sun Fibre Channel Transport layer
system SUNWfctlx Sun Fibre Channel Transport layer (64-bit)
system SUNWfcp Sun FCP SCSI Device Driver
system SUNWfcpx Sun FCP SCSI Device Driver (64-bit)

I can't find any more - something tells me there are some missing 
packages. 8-) I haven't done anything special to make Solaris see the FCAL 
drive other than numerous '-r' reboots to force device node re-creation 
since I set up the machine and tried to get it to work with the FCAL 
drive.

Note that the machine is running Solaris 9. It hasn't had a patch kit 
applied for about 6 months, but I'd not expecting that to fix anything 
unless someone has access to all the private stuff in SunSolve and knows 
of some SB-1000-specific FCAL-related software package patches...

Regards,

Craig.
