Since you have 10 luns configured in the A1000 make sure you have the
following line in your /kernel/drv/glm.conf file:

For Solaris 2.6 add:
lsi-scsi-options = 0x107f8;

For Solaris 7 & 8 (don't know about 9) add:
lsi-scsi-options = 0x407f8;

With out this line the glm driver only supports 8 LUNS on an
A1000/A3X00...
