SAN disks don't show up?

We have a Sun Ultra 20 running Solaris 10 x86 with a QLogic 2340 HBA in it that's attached to a QLogic SANbox switch with a number of JBOD drives on the far side. We can't seem to see the drives using the standard commands. Here's what we've done/seen:

-) We've done a reconfigure reboot (reboot -- -r).

-) The qlogic driver, qla2300, is loaded:

# modinfo | grep FC

89 ffffffffef8160009aa8-1 fctl (SunFC Transport v20050104-1.41)

134 ffffffffef974000 9d850 1801 qla2300 (QLogic FC Driver v4.18)

146 ffffffffefa170009670 791 fcip (SunFC FCIP v20050104-1.42)

147 fffffffffbbe905854b0 801 fcsm (Sun FC SAN Management v20050104)

-) We can run the QLogic command line tool, scli, and see the HBA and drives just fine.

-) When we run "prtconf -v" we can see the WWNs for the drives in the list of devices. So the machine could see them at one time.

-) In the directories /dev/fc and /dev/cfg we can see the paths to the HBA:

# ls -l /dev/fc /dev/cfg

/dev/cfg:

total 3

-) But we can't configure the drives with the cfgadm commands. cfgadm -al shows only the USB ports and nothing else. Other cfgadm commands return depressing results. For example:

# cfgadm -al -o show_SCSI_LUN

cfgadm: Configuration administration not supported

-) The luxadm commands don't seem to work either:

# luxadm probe

ERROR: No Fibre Channel Adapters found.

# luxadm -e dump_map /dev/cfg/c3

Error: Invalid pathname (/dev/cfg/c3)

-) The format command only sees the local drives, not the fibre attached ones.

What are we doing wrong? Is there some step to enable Solaris 10 to see the drives?

Thanks.
