I tested the same drives on different A5000, and I got the same results. Posible Answers: 1. Tony Tran [tonytran@contour.com] tole me to Check the GIBIC card (fiber) 2. Derrick Daugherty [derrick@tachyon.pointone.com]wrote to me was right on money. He gave me bunch of solutions, /usr/lib/vxvm/bin/vxdisksetup -i c3t37d0 xdisksetup: c3t37d0: Invalid disk device for vxdisksetup /usr/lib/vxvm/bin/vxdisksetup -i c3t53d0 xdisksetup: c3t53d0: Invalid disk device for vxdisksetup vxdisk list should be in there. vxdctl enable tells the daemon to go look at slices 3 and 4 of every disk to see if they have vx info. Those new disks don't until you enable them with the above commands, or something similar. Whe you set them up it will pass the info to the vx kernel so you don't need to do the enable again. You can then add them to you dg or make a new one etc. Also suggests to try on different A5000. I got same results. 3. Kulp, Scott (Scott) [skulp@agere.com] tole me To check the firmware. I used # luxadm disp /dev/rdsk/c2*s2* | egrep -i rev My revision on the disks were really way behind. did you get the disks from sun. they have to have special firmware to talk to the array controller. If you have any more open slots try luxadm remove of the disk and try another slot. then try format|label and format | analyse|read test. 4.
