Connecting XRAID to Sunfire via LSI FC card - Drives not showing up
- by Matthew Watson
Hi,
I've got a Sunfire T1000 machine ( Solaris 10 10/09 s10s_u8wos_08a SPARC ) with a LSI7404EP-LC fibre channel card in it. This is plugged into an XRAID.
The system seems to have picked up the card

However it doesn't seem to be able to see the xraid attached to it, lsiutil only reports the onboard SAS controller.

I've tried adding the configuration to /kernal/drv/sd.conf and /kernal/drv/ssd.conf as per this thread, however format still cannot see any drives on the xraid.
I'm not sure where to go next. Any suggestions? From what I've read..this should pretty much just eb plug it in and they show up in format..
