Pascal got it right straight away - memo to self... Even if Sun supply
drivers on CD with new hardware, check the Sun web site for updates BEFORE
installation :-)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't help much on that issue since I have mainly been working with 3510FC
so far. But I could read that you installed sccli 1.2.6. This is an old
version and it is highly recommended to install the latest which is 2.0. You
can find it on Sun's website following download, then storage management and
finally "3000 product family". You may need to update the firmware on the
disk-arrays to have all functions be supported !? Hope others will provide
you with more information relative to your problem.

Regards,
/Pascal

        half a pack of cigarettes. It's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
