Hi,
I have 4 servers that I connected SUN HBAs on. (SAN is IBM - ESS 800 with Brocade switch)
I installed the SAN foundation kit, IBMsdd drivers, Solaris Patch 108974-50 & SANsurfer CLI.
(I'm running Solaris 8 - HBA is SG-XPC11FC-QL2
On 1 of the 4 servers show the HBAs as CONNECTED, but will not configure.
cfgadm -al Shows

I tried to configure these disks, & I got the following message :
# cfgadm -c configure c3
cfgadm: Library error: failed to create device node: 5005076300c49b00: Invalid argument

I tried forcing the configuration & still got the same error message
# cfgadm -o force_update -c configure c3
cfgadm -o force_update -c configure c3

On the other 3 Servers, I don't show them as CONNECTED, even thought they are all configured the same way with same drivers & all rebooted with the -- -r command.
The other servers show :

I've been battling with issue now for over 3 weeks & it's very frustrating to keep having stumbling blocks.
I would appreciate any relevant help in this matter.
Thanks,
