Kim,

I just went threw this this morning.

1) You need the SCSI card drivers from SUN
Solaris 8
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?patchid=3D108725&collection=3Df=
patches&mode=3Dresults
Solaris 9
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?patchid=3D113277&collection=3Df=
patches&mode=3Dresults

2) I was running solaris 8 so i also needed the latest sg driver patch. I=20
was able to get that using the "latest recomended and security patch"
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=3Dpatchpage
3) I updated my OBP to the latest rev
4) It's a dual channel card, for some reason, i was getting a parity error =

when i had my L8(lto2) connected to channel 2 and nothing to channel 1.

Now i gotta tune my backup cuz to me it seems slow. Maybe we can compare=20
performance numbers later.

I hope i helped.
