Summary: StorEDGE L9

I got two replies to my question, from Hichael Morton and William Enestvedt.
Thanks, guys.

One suggested looking at st.conf.  Good suggestion, but st.conf was fine on
both my servers.

The other suggested looking at revision levels, PROMs, etc on both server
and StorEdge.  Apparently, the symptoms I saw was typical of StorEdge
products.  Unfortunately, this is a hard point for me to push to try to get
Sun's help.  This seems to be the where my problem lies, though.

Regards ...
