Here's whats worked for us....
=20
Before You Start Do the following to verify the right SG Driver. (The =
pre-indtyalled Solaris one will goof things up.)
=20
1. Make copy of sg.conf and st.conf in the /kernel/drv
=20
2. Determine if an sg driver is loaded by using the following command:
/usr/sbin/modinfo | grep sg
 141 fc580000 2d8c 116 1 sg (SCSA Generic Revision: 3.4d)
 153 fc7fa000 1684 49 1 msgsys (System V message facility)
=20
3. Remove the existing driver:
/usr/sbin/rem_drv sg
=20
4. Install or reconfigure the sg driver.
  /usr/bin/rm -f /kernel/drv/sg.conf
=20
b. To install the driver run the following command:
=20
  /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/sg.install
=20
Once the driver has been installed, it is not necessary to reboot the =
system or run
the sg.install command during or after each system boot.
=20
Build SG Drivers
 5) cd /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver
 /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sg.build all -mt 15 -ml 1
=20
 2) touch /reconfigure
=20
 3) Reboot! (init 6)=20
=20
 4) /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sgscan all
=20
