Thanks for the prompt response:
Gurudatta, Joe Fletcher, Ric Anderson ,Fransico Roque & all sunmanagers.
I tried checking the SCSI termination on the Tape drive and it was fine as it was working on a SPARC Blade machine. Also the boot option on the SCSi controller was OFF. I also checked the SCSi bus id probing and found that it was giving this error in /var/log/messages file.

Finally a desperate attempt of searching the web brought me to this link.

Updating the kernel finally solved my problem. The solution was simple it took me 2 days :).
Thanks again guys for all the help.

Subject: Configuring HP StorageWorks Dat 40 Tape Drive on Ultra 40 workstation.
To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org
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
