Hi folks,

I will soon need to add a dual port SCSI board with a D1000 storage device to a
Sun Ultra Enterprise 450, running Solaris 2.6 with SDS.

The machine currently has 20 internal disk slots (18 full) and two external
D1000 devices, each with 12 disks. The PCI slot layout is as follows:
10: empty
 9: empty
 8: empty
 7: Sun Gigabit ethernet board
 6: dual port SCSI board connected to external D1000
 5: dual port SCSI board connected to internal disk rack
 4: dual port SCSI board connected to external D1000
 3: empty
 2: empty
 1: dual port SCSI board connected to internal disk rack

The dual port SCSI boards are all Symbios 53c875.

When I add in the new PCI-SCSI board, should I worry that it might change the
current naming of the disks, and if so, what's the best way to deal with it ?

Any words of advice on which slot to use for the new board ?

TIA for any help and info. Will summarize...

Regards,
                                        Christian
