Thanks to Randy "Splat" and Joshua Fielden for their responses.
Still no dice on seeing the LUNs. However, LSI found that we're running
an incomplete Solaris 7 instance (missing SUNWssad and SUNWssadx). I
added those and I'm re-applying the patches. Probably going to have to
reinstall the HBA drivers too.
However, to cover my bases, my LSI rep is coming over with a couple
Emulex cards to see if we can get those to work. (Thanks Joshua).
The LSI tech insists that he has these 2GB cards running in a 420 in his
lab (he's got Sol8 though).
More later...
