Thanks for all the replies. It turns out that you cannot purchase any
one of the "Sun supported" fc drives from any vendor for a v880. The
disks must have Sun's firmware loaded or they will not be recognized. I
know this is not true for many scsi based Sun systems but I'm not sure
about the other fc based Sun systems.
I'm not aware of a procedure to load Sun's firmware onto a drive or even
how to acquire it. Sun sales quoted me a price for a replacement.
After receiving the quote, I decided to search for a 3rd party vendor by
using the Sun part #.
Some interesting information that was passed along...
Some have experienced no issues when replacing a drive w/ out following
the proper hot-plug procedure.
When having trouble w/ new hardware - devfsadm -C, then add the
hardware, then devfsadm.
solaris 8 backplane patch - 117814-01 (read the docs, prompt returns
during upgrade but you still have to wait)
solaris 8 disks patch - 116369-10
108528-24 was pulled as an "unstable kernel"

Subject: v880 disk problem
I had a failed disk on a v880 running Solaris 8 (108528-24). I
mistakenly pulled the disk w/ out using the proper hot-plug procedure
(luxadm remove_device). Now I can't seem to get the new drive online.
I've tried - "reboot -- -r" and "luxadm insert_device".
The new 36gb replacement drive is the same Seagate model as the other
existing drives - ST336605FC. Here's what it looks like...
format - drive is not present. It was c1t10d0. It's not there now.
There are only 11 internal drives shown (should be 12)
probe-scsi-all - looks like the drive is found because 12 WWN's are
shown. 11 of them look like this (with different WWN's)...
3 3 0 21000004cf72bb7d SEAGATE ST336605FSUN36G 0438
1 looks like this...
6 6 0 5080020000165e89 SUNW SUNWGS INT FCBPL9224
cfgadm -al - 11 look like this (with different WWN's)...
c1::21000004cf7fad41 disk connected configured

1 looks like this...
c1::5080020000165e89 ESI connected configured

luxadm disp - 11 look like this (with different WWN's)...
7 On (O.K.) 20000004cf7fad08

Could this be a drive firmware issue? Could not using the proper
removal procedure be the cause? Thanks.
