Thanks David, Koef, Nouce and Wesley.

Nouce and Wesley were exactly correct. Infact Wes had a similar experience.

Well, V240 doesn't support QLA2100, need to upgrade to QLA2200.

I spoke with QLogic folks, they said QLA2100 works with V240 but
doesn't work with Sun commands like "luxadm, cfgadm". You can also see
and access the array (in my case A5200) but not through these
commands. Not sure how to do that, anyhow we have dropped the idea of
using QLA2100, we going ahead with QLA2200.

Thank you guys.
