Solaris 8 and Infortrend Disk Array

Hi all.

I just bought a new disk array (Infortrend Eonstor A12U-G1410 SCSI 3)
and connected it to a Solaris 8 220R box.

I am having trouble making Solaris recognize and format the partitions
of this array. The array has 2 LUNs, 800Gb each.

at PROM level, "probe-scsi-all" detects both LUNs perfectly.
controller 1 (3,1)
     - target 0
         - unit 0 disk IFT A12U-G1410....
         - unit 1 disk IFT A12U-G1410....
     - target 9
         - unit 0 disk SEAGATE
controller 0 (3,0)
     - target 0
         - unit 0 disk SEAGATE
     - target 1
         - unit 0 disk SEAGATE
     - target 6
         - unit 0 CD-DVD

but Solaris didn4t see them at "format" level, so Searching for answers
I found

http://sunportal.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/summaries/2004-December.txt

which lead me to install SUNWqus* drivers for
StorEdge PCI Dual Ultra3 SCSI Host Adapter v1.0
(http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?tab=2#S)

Back to the format level, only the first LUN is recognized:
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
         0. c0t0d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
            /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@0,0
         1. c0t1d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
            /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@1,0
--> 2. c1t0d0 <IFT-A12U-G1410-331Q cyl 50589 alt 2 hd 255 sec 127>
            /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1/sd@0,0
         3. c1t9d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
            /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1/sd@9,0

partition> pr
Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 50589 + 2 (reserved cylinders)

Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 root wm 0 - 50588 781.21GB (50589/0/0) 1638324765
1 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
2 backup wu 0 - 50588 781.21GB (50589/0/0) 1638324765
3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0

I try to format the available partition from LUN 0 and this
is what I get:
root@aconcagua:~$ newfs -v /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0: (y/n)? y
mkfs -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 1638324765 127 255 8192 1024 251 1 90
8192 t 0 -1 8 127
Minimum bytes per inode is 11992
With 32385 sectors per cylinder, minimum cylinders per group is 16
This requires the fragment size to be changed from 1024 to 8192
Please re-run mkfs with corrected parameters

root@aconcagua:~$ newfs -v -f 8192 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0: (y/n)? y
mkfs -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 1638324765 127 255 8192 8192 251 1 90
8192 t 0 -1 8 127
Minimum bytes per inode is 11992
Unable to make filesystem fit with the given constraints
Please re-run mkfs with corrected parameters
root@aconcagua:~$

So, I cannot see both LUNs and can4t even format the one I see.

I tried adding this line to /kernel/drv/sd.conf
name="sd" class="scsi" class_prop="atapi"
     target=0 lun=1;

but only got a message in /var/adm/messages, but no new
disk at "format" level (sd15 is LUN 0, sd59 is LUN 1)

May 12 17:54:39 aconcagua scsi: [ID 193665 kern.info] sd15 at glm1:

any help/advice ?? please.

best regards,
