Hi Gurus,
             I am facing with a problem. One of my customer has a SF1280
server which is connected to an EMC CX300 box through 2 HBA cards ( connected
to 33Mhz PCI slot). Now customer had purchased one more CX300 server and 1 new
HBA cards last month.At that time, I had installed the HBA on the server
(totalling to 3 HBA) and rebooted the server. When the server had reached the
OBP level , it detected three HBA successfully after which i upgraded the
firmware of the HBA.
Now, customer has purchased one more HBA for redundancy totalling it to four
HBA's connected to 4 separate PCI (33MHz) slots.
But now, when i install the fourth HBA, and reboot the server i get the
following message:-

{/N0/SB4/P1} DCB_ENTER_OBP command succeeded
{/N0/SB4/P2} DCB_ENTER_OBP command succeeded
{/N0/SB4/P3} DCB_ENTER_OBP command succeeded
Entering OBP ...

after which both the LED's on the HBA go blank. But "prtdiag" shows me all the
HBA cards whereas in "lputil" command there is only 3 cards detected.
