# 3
yes i have the right card:
Symbios 348-0036690C (and also 3750006255567). When i searched on internet, these numbers are related to X6541A
For the battery, how can i view status?
I can't use raidutil -c cXtXd0s2 -B because there is no cXtXd0s2
I have to search if it possible to connect to A1000 with Ethernet port? (TP on rear side?)
# 5
I took a look on the machine to which the A1000 is connected, and it has the following packages installed:
The following packages are available:
1 SUNWosafwOpen Storage Array Firmware

...probe-scsi-all don't show something related to A1000
iostat works at the operating system level, therefore the A1000 was indeed detected at the ok-prompt, otherwise the device tree wouldn't have been build properly.
Even an A1000 w/o disks should be detected at the ok-prompt. The integrated RAID-Controller is already a device. The installed disks are only detected with probe-scsi-all after being configuring with RaidManager (the configured LUNs are displayed, not the individual disks).
Please check the cable and the HVD-SCSI terminator at the rear of the A1000.
After the A1000 is detected at the ok-prompt advance to the next step.
Check if the 4 SUNWosa... packages that ssteimann mentioned are installed.
The version of RaidManager must match the installed A1000 firmware. If you can login to SunSolve there is a firmware matrix (InfoDoc 43483).
Maybe you should remove these packages and re-install them.
Merry Christmas !
Michael
Any updates ?
