    SSA adapter microcode is up to date. I applied that earlier in the week.
    Server microcode is current. Applied that earlier in the week as well.

    oslevel is 5200-02.

    The drives are DMVC, which do not have microcode updates on the SSA site.
    I already checked that.

    My first thought is Microcode.

    Did you look at the loops in Diag, SSA Service Aids?

    Hi *.

    I have a 6F1 here that I am building out. It has 4 SSA 18.2 internal disk
    and a SSA160 adapter cables A1/A2 to the internal disks. B1/B2 are not
    cabled.

    The outside 2 drives (slots 1 and 4) are blinking green, slots 5 and 6 have
    fillers. The A loop light on the SSA adapter is green solid.

    Only 2 pdisk and hdisks show up on the system.

    What is this telling me ?
