[SunHELP] scsi problems

Hi

Since I wont have physical access to Monday, and I wanted to run some
tests over the weekend, I ask this here ...

I today, just before leaving for home, installed a Sun branded dual
channel SCSI card into my U10 system, and attached 4 disks to it (2 to
each channel).  I wanted to run some disksuite tests with filesystem
mirroring, striping, ....

Anyway after reboot (yes I did a boot -r, then went home :-) ) I
cannot see the disks.

I was able to see all disks in the OBP with probe-scsi-all, targets 2
and 3 on each channel.

I can see the scsi channels:

find /devices | fgrep scsi
/devices/pci at 1f,0/pci at 1,1/ide at 3:scsi
/devices/pci at 1f,0/pci at 1/scsi at 3:devctl
/devices/pci at 1f,0/pci at 1/scsi at 3:scsi
/devices/pci at 1f,0/pci at 1/scsi at 4:devctl
/devices/pci at 1f,0/pci at 1/scsi at 4:scsi

prtconf also sees the SCSI controller:

--> snip
        pci, instance #1
            pci, instance #0
                scsi (driver not attached)
                    sd (driver not attached)
                    st (driver not attached)
                scsi (driver not attached)
                    sd (driver not attached)
                    st (driver not attached)
--> snip

and the sysinfo tool tells me

--> snip
        simba1 is a "Sun PCI" bus bridge
            pciclass,060400/0 is a PCI
                scsi is a "Q-Logic ISP10160" PCI
--> snip

There was no software CD with the SCSI card, so I assumed either the
normal sd or glm drivbers would work.  Am I wrong?  Do I need another
driver?  If so which one, is it on the standard solaris 8 CDs (I am
using solaris 8 from 02/02).  I am running sol8 in 64 bit mode ...

Cheers,
Kevin
