Configuring HP StorageWorks Dat 40 Tape Drive on Ultra 40 workstation.

Hi All,

We had a request for connecting an HP DAT 40 Tape Drive to be connected to an Ultra 40 (x64) workstation. Since the workstation does not come with a standard SCSi card, we ordered a SCSI Ultra 320 Host Bus Adapter from SUN. The card is a LSI Logic card (LSI20320). On installation of the card and doing a reconfigure boot causes the system to hang. Even devfsadm command hangs for a long time.
I then have to shut the system, remove the card and power on the machine. It then boots up fine.
I initially thought it could be a problem with the card, and hence tried another of the same card which resulted in the same behavior.

The Ultra 40(x64) workstation is loaded with Solaris 10 06/06 OS (118855-14 ).

Has any one faced such a problem or has any idea how to debug the problem then please help.

Thanks -
Sudhir
