    Hello,

    We've acquired an E450 (that is about 1000 miles away) and we are
    looking at adding some more drives to it (it has 4 in it now). From
    what I've been able to determine, it doesn't look like it has the
    standard E450 8 slot scsi expansion cards in it, but it's got
    something.

    AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
            0. c0t0d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
               /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@0,0
            1. c0t1d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107> oradata3
               /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@1,0
            2. c5t0d0 <SUN36G cyl 24619 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
               /pci@6,4000/pci@2/scsis@4/mscsi@2,0/sd@0,0
            3. c5t2d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
               /pci@6,4000/pci@2/scsis@4/mscsi@2,0/sd@2,0

    The device path for the first two disks is what I'm familiar with:

    /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@0,0:a,raw
    /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@1,0:a,raw

    But the other two show:

    /pci@6,4000/pci@2/scsis@4/mscsi@2,0/sd@0,0:a,raw
    /pci@6,4000/pci@2/scsis@4/mscsi@2,0/sd@2,0:a,raw

    prtidag shows:

          Bus Freq
    Brd Type MHz Slot Name Model
    --- ---- ---- ---- --------------------------------
    ----------------------
    SYS PCI 33 3 pciclass,058000
    SYS PCI 33 3 pci1044,a501
    SYS PCI 33 7 pciclass,001000 Symbios,53C875
    SYS PCI 33 10 TSI,gfxp GFXP

    So, my question is, does anyone know what kind of card that is in
    slot3, that gives a scsi path of ...mscsi... in it? And can it
    handle hot swapping in new drives?

    thanks, andrew
