3310 RAID + 3310 Expansion + SunFire 440 Question?
HI all, I am new here.
I just set up my first SunFire 440 database server with one 3310 RAID (12 x 36GB) controller and one EXPANSION (12 x 36GB) controller.
I am using the Ultra3 SCSI PCI card (with the most recent drivers). Updated solaris 9 patch cluster. Updated 3310 firmware (I think it is 325W or something like that) and patches. Single Bus setting where one 3310 is used for expansion and the other used for RAID. The set up is just like the "Quick Install Guide" in Single Bus setting. The two 3310 arrays were used.
Question: How do I reset each 3310 disk array config? is it the sccli "reset nvram" command?
I can only see one 3310 when I do the sccli command. It does not give me the option to select the 2nd 3310 (therefore I wasn't able to upload the new 325 firmware). I don't think my servers see it. When I run the ssconsole, it only sees one 3310. Where is my 2nd 3310? I am thinking that I messed up with the physical SCSI connections in the rear panel of the 3310 for single bus in RAID and EXPANSION setting. Can someone tell me how they set it up or tell me what I am doing worng? Or Could it be the /kernel/config (something like that) where I add the LUN number... can someone tell me what that is for? Is LUN only for FC or can SCSI use it to?
Thank you for your time.

OKAY. Forget the question above. I found some the Configuration User Guide that will help me set up RAID and Logic Drives.
BUT I still can't see all 24 hard disk (12 hard disk on each array) using the Quick Install Guide for "Connecting Cables for Single BusConfiguration." I can see 12 hard disk on channel 0 and 6 hard disk on channel 2. When I do a show disk, I get
sccli> show disk

What happened to channel 2 hard drives 8-13?
I read on another post use command "drvconfig;devlinks;disks" but I can't find any info on that command.
Thanks.

OKAY. I've done more reading and found out that the reason was because I have 2 RAID Array and not 1 RAID + 1 EXPANSION (JBOD) like I thought.
New Question:
I have 2 RAID. I only need 1 RAID and 1 JOB. Is there anyway for me to configure one of the RAID arrays into a JBOD array?
If NO. Can I hook up two RAID arrays onto 1 Sunfire 440 (with different scsi channels)? Will the program (ssconsole) let me view and configure both? Or will I need two computers; one for each RAID array?
