SUMMARY: Add SAN disk without Reboot on non-Sun branded controllers

I had various responses and the overriding theme was not many successful
experiences with being able to do this using non-sun branded cards.

I'm using Emulex HBAs and HBAnywhere...on newest 2900 boxes I'm able to
see newly added SAN disks without reboot.

However, on the 490 system in question, I have not been able to get it
to work. Not sure at this point if I need to update the driver or
what...

I've used these steps in the past:

devfsadm -C

cfgadm -al     (to get a list of controllers)

cfgadm -c configure c2::500610003412EAB23141

cfgadm -c configure c4::500610003412EAB23142



and on occasion, forget why, had to do a luxadm -e forcelip <port>



However, I'm on a project now where standard is to use Emulex cards and
drivers...and these steps are not working.

After devfsadm -C

And doing the cfgadm not seeing anything, format also doesn't show the
LUN added to the fabric:



(418) >> cfgadm -al

Ap_Id                          Type         Receptacle   Occupant

usb0/4                         unknown      empty        unconfigured ok



Luxadm probe doesn't even see hba's



Apparently, we're using HBAnywhere:

   PKGINST:  HBAnyware

I can run the lputil cmd to show any necessary output...thanks
