My original message was:

We have an Sun Enterprise 450, a PCI based machine, with four A5000 storage

I received a number of replies to this, all helpful as they made me think
about the problem. Unfortunately, I had to call in a Sun SSE in the end and
it turned out to be a dodgy FC-AL card.

Such an easy solution to what seemed to be an impossible situation. It
turned out that the FC-AL card that had been swapped in the first place was
dead-on-arrival.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Below are the names of people I would like
to thank:

Michael Brock
Phil Scarr
Rachel Polanski
Rajeev Kumar

And specifically Scott Clark, who asked for further info to help with this
problem. Sorry for not returning a reply to the last mail, Scott, it's been
hectic.

Cheers, everyone
