Solaris 9 and cfgadm erors

Hello List,

I'm seeing an error on a Solaris 9 host with SFS 4.4.13 installed. The
HBA is a Qlogic QLA2462 attached to a Brocade switch and zoned to my
array. I get the below error the first time I add luns to a host and
use cfgadm to discover the luns. The odd thing is that the 2nd time I
issue the same command it succeeds with no error.

[root@hosteng01--->]cfgadm -c configure c4
cfgadm: Library error: failed to create device node: 500a09839627d919:
I/O error
failed to create device node: 500a09869627d919: I/O error
Operation partially successful. Some failures seen

When the cfgadm error occurs, I get the following in my messages
file....

/var/adm/messages
"Failed to create nodes for pwwn=500a09869627d919; error=5"

I'm seeing this behavior on several Solaris 9 hosts and on different
arrays. The only thing I found on Sunsolve that might explain the
error was related to NL port mode for FC tapes. Has anyone seen this
behavior and is there a work-around?

Thanks,
Vic
