Smart Array 5300

I just built up a 2 node Tru64 Cluster running 5.1b with pk4 using a
MSA1000. The machines had been running off of local smart array 5300
controllers.

My problem now is I can't see my local disk hanging off the Smart Array.
When I do a disklabel -r on them I get error 95 can't access disks. I can
see them in hwmgr. I have tried to delete the disk and it won't let me
delete them. I have called support and they told me that there have been
some changes in pk4 for the smart array controllers.

My question is has anyone seen this problem with 5.1b and pk4? I would like
to have access to those local disks.

If I boot the Install CD for 5.1b I can disklabel the smart array disks so
it looks like something in the patch kit that is causing the problem.

Thanks,
