I am running Solaris 10 x86 u6 (10/2008) on a SuperMicro PDSME+ with
an Areca ARC-1280ML 24-channel RAID controller. The RAID controller
is configured in JBOD mode with drives in channels 1 - 8 and 24.
Solaris can only see the drives on channels 1 through 8. The RAID
BIOS says the drive on channel 24 is at SCSI Ch/Id/Lun : 0/23/0. I
have modified /kernel/drv/sd.conf to include entries through target 23:
name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=0;
...
name="sd" class="scsi" target=23 lun=0;
I tried running devfsadm as well as a reconfigure reboot, but still
cannot see the device at target 23. How can I expose this drive to
Solaris?
Thanks,
--Dave
