Sun-servers not seeing SAN-connected disks

Fellow Managers,

I am a bit of a newbie to Solaris and SANs so I need some help here...

I have a Nexsan Ataboy2 fibre connected to a Sun 280R with Solaris 9, latest
rec. & sec. patches. Emulex LP9002 single port fibre HBA. Latest Emulex lpfc
driver and utility kit installed. topology=0 in /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf (loop).
Sun SAN Foundation Suite NOT installed. /kernel/drv/sd.conf updated:

name="sd" parent="lpfc" target=0 lun=0;
name="sd" parent="lpfc" target=0 lun=1;
name="sd" parent="lpfc" target=0 lun=2;
name="sd" parent="lpfc" target=0 lun=3;
name="sd" parent="lpfc" target=0 lun=4;
name="sd" parent="lpfc" target=0 lun=5;

Booted boot -r.

I want to connect an extra fiber disk to the server and I have created a simple
three port zone on my Brokade 200E SAN-switch. When connecting the server and the
two fibre disk arrays to the switch, the switch sees all WWNs and report valid
info for all these. However, the 280R does not see any disks. boot -r done. The
zone is a private zone and I'm almost certain that this is set up correctly (it
works fine if I connect two Win2003 servers and an other Ataboy2x to an identically
configured zone).

The output below is generaten on the 280R with the Ataboy2x disk array directly
connected.

I have another Sun-server (SunFire V240) with a QLogic fibre HBA. Solaris 9 with
latest patches. If I try to connect the disk to the server using the SAN-switch,
the same thing happens.

Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I will summarize.

Thanks!

Best regards,

Nils
