Hi,

I need to add an external SCSI hard disk to my Sun Ultra 30 server. I got the
target ids used by doing a 'probe-scsi'. The steps I performed are:

1. init 0 - to get the ok prompt
2. reset - to reset the SCSI bus
3. probe-scsi - Noted that 0,1 and 6 have been used, Set the target id on the
drive to 2
4. Powered the machine down.
5. Attached the new drive and booted the machine up, Did a 'Stop-A' to get the
ok prompt.'
6. boot -r - to reconfigure and identify all the SCSI devices
7. I expected 'format' to now list the physical device so that I could proceed
with formattinbg, partitioning and mounting, but format only showed the two
drives used by 0 and 1.

I have done this same steps many times and am not able to make format
recognize the newly installed drive. BTW, the drive has been switched on and
the green light on the drive is ON :-)

Thanks in advance. Need help desperately.
