Hi Kent:
I have run into the same problem before, and have worked with LSI and SUN
support to fix it. LSI calls this "persistant drive mapping", and here is how
to clear it
1) obtain the latest version of the program "lsiutil" from LSI. They don't
seem to have the Solaris versions on their website, but I got it by email when
entering a ticket into their support system. I know that they have a version
for Solaris x86 (and I believe a Sparc version also). The version I currently
have is: "LSI Logic MPT Configuration Utility, Version 1.52, September 7, 2007"
2) Execute the lsiutil program on your target box.
a) first it will ask you to select which card to use (I have multiple cards
in my machine, don't know if it will ask if you only have 1 card in your box)
b) then you need to select option 15 (it is a hidden option, not shown on
the menu)
c) then you select option 10 (Clear all persistant mappings)
d) then option 0 multiple times to get out of the program
e) I normally than reboot the box, and the next time it comes up, the
drives are back in order.
e) or (instead of rebooting) option 99, to reset the chip (causes new
mappings to be established), then option 8 (to verify lower target IDs), then
"devfsadm". After devfsadm completes, lsiutil option 42 should display valid
device names (in /dev/rdsk), and "format" should find the devices so that you
can label them.
Hope this helps. I happened to need it last night again (I normally have to
run it after re-imaging a box, assuming that I don't want to save the data that
was on those drives).
