3310 JBOD Installation on V880

Hi Everyone, hoping someone can shed some light on my situation here.I'm trying to setup a SA3310 Array as a JBOD on a SunFire V880.

- i have installed the Ultra3 SCSI LVD card and installed the patch that came on the CD-ROM with the card.

- i have connected the array to the host in a Single Bus configureation. The SCSI patch cable between the to SB ports and then I have Channel A connected to the Ultra 3 SCSI card on the server.

We have had many issues with this - i installed the 112697 patch for the SCSI drivers, shutdown the server and booted the array and the server. Performed a STOP-A and ran PROBE-SCSI-ALL - the result was that I could see the 5 drives inside the Array as well as Target F- the Processor. So ran a boot -r command and restarted the server. Just prior to the system loaded the /dev and /devices I receive the following errors:

WARNING: /pci@8,700000/pci@2/scsi4 (qus0): Target sync. Rate reduced. Target 3 lun 0

WARNING:/pci@8,700000/pci@2/scsi4 (qus0): Parity Error

WARNING:/pci@8,700000/pci@2/scsi4 (qus0): corrupt label ?wrong magic #

At this point my server locks up and boots no further and the only way to get the server to boot is to power off the array and reboot the server without the array turned on. We have been trying to correct this for a couple of months now and we would like to get this working and useable. If anyone has any idea as to what we can do next they would be greated appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick

The output I receive from the PROBE-SCSI-ALL looks like this for the 3310.
