6784370 enhance arcmsr to support auto-enumeration solves the "must add luns to sd.conf" problem. If you're not running at least snv_107, then you will need to add entries to your /kernel/drv/sd.conf file, regenerate your boot archive, and then reboot. The format of the entries is as follows: name="sd" parent="arcmsr" target=2 lun=0; name="sd" parent="arcmsr" target=3 lun=0; name="sd" parent="arcmsr" target=4 lun=0; name="sd" parent="arcmsr" target=5 lun=0; etc etc. Oh, and do make sure you're using JBOD mode if that's available.
