Sun StorageArray A1000 not seen by probe-scsi-all

[jack at coats.org (Jack)]

Try pluggin in a different device on the same cables (disconnect the
A1000).
If it is seen, then the A1000 has some problems.

If the other devices are seen, then try the A1000 on a different
fast wide diff
SCSI controller.  

You might make sure you have the latest flash upgrades for the
servers.  I seem to
remember having to do that a few months ago on a E450 when puttin in
a A3500.
I also had a bad controller in the A1000.

Lots of luck.  ... Jack
