Can't see a T3 on a FC switch

Greetings, managers.

I have two T3 Workgroup arrays (single bricks) connected to a Sun
fibrechannel switch, along with two Sun Enterprise servers running
Solaris 8. The servers can see the first T3 (via "luxadm probe"
and "format") but can't see the second.

Each "brick" works fine when it's direct-attached to a server, but
when they're connected to the switch, only one is visible. I need
to figure out why I can't see the second T3.

When I do a 'reset' on the second T3, I see these messages in the
Sun server's /var/adm/messages, and they seem to be relevant, but
I don't know how to fix the problem.

        target 0x7b, AL-PA 0x4 and hard address 0x0 don't match
        target 0x7b al_pa 0x4 lun 0 offlined

Any suggestions?

Note: I've already verified that each T3 has a unique target id.

First T3 (the one that is visible):
