That's one I missed.

Was just pointed out to me by my VAR.

What do you mean by "solaris does not know how to created devices" ??

The OS sees all the devices fine....

#cfgadm -al -o show_FCP_dev - returns everything I expect.

ok# boot -r - creates all the devices properly....just that sgscan
doesn't see all of them.
