Thanks to everyone who responded to this question. Of course, it was a very
obvious answer.

The MultiPack system is Single-ended SCSI, while the UDWIS is a differential
controller. Connecting the two leads to very bad results. Hopefully it
didn't fry my stuff.

Time to call my vendor. :)

Thanks again!!!

---ORIGINAL QUESTION---

Folks,

I'm running an Ultra-2 using Solaris 8 and trying to install a UDWIS/S Sbus
card with a StorEdge MultiPack external array, but I'm running into some
significant headaches.

I have installed the UDWIS controller, connected the array, and verified the
termination on the array is correct. Powering up to the PROM (ok) prompt
and doing a "show-devs" correctly shows the controller. Doing a
"probe-scsi" shows the controller, but no drives. Doing a "boot -rv" will
show it detect the controller. However, the OS will not detect the
controller or the drives using sunvts, drvconfig, etc.

What else do I need to do to get this machine to detect the drives?

Of course, summary will follow... :)
