with pass-through disks on areca controllers you have to set the lun id (i believe) using the volume command. when you issue a volume info your disk id's should look like this (if you want solaris to see the disks):
0/1/0 0/2/0 0/3/0 0/4/0 etc. the middle part there (again, i think that's supposed to be lun id) is what you need to set manually for each disk. it's actually my #1 peeve with using areca with solaris.
