We have a T3 storage array. I hooked it to a V480 with a fiber cable.
I follow the T3 instruction.  The volume in T3 is mounted. "luxadm
insert" could not find the device with message "no new device, no new
enclosure". OS Solaris 9 is patched with recent Recommend Cluster. /
dev/es is there.   This T3 worked well with our E4500 Solaris 8 (It was
done before I came).

Thank you,

The man pages for luxadm and T3 guides:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-3937/6mjgeafsh?l=en&a=viewhttp:/...
n.com/pdf/816-0778-10/816-0778-10.pdf

When you say the "volume in T3 is mounted", are you referring to the T3
seeing the disks/volumes internally?  Can you determine the WWN for the
volume?

netbackup:/:<2>vol list
volume         capacity     raid  data      standby
v0             204.510 GB   5     u1d1-4    u1d9

netbackup:/:<3>vol stat
v0            u1d1   u1d2   u1d3   u1d4   u1d9
mounted        0      0      0      0      0

netbackup:/:<5>port list
port   targetid   addr_type   status   host   wwn
u1p1      1        hard       online   sun    50020f2300002c63

Are the FC drivers required to access the T3 installed?  The V480
product guide says there are a bunch of patches for Solaris 9 for FC,
luxadm and SUNWsan must be installed.  Are they all there?

http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/816-0905-15/816-0905-15.pdf

I go to this doc, go tohttp://www.sun.com/storage/san/, click on "
SAN 3.0/3.1/3.2 release", download "SUNWcfpl/x and SUNWsan packages",
and install all three of them. I also install patch from 113039 to
113043. Reboot machine with /reconfigure. "luxadm insert" still
reports  "No new device(s) were added!! No new enclosure(s) were
added!!"

Thanks

Then there's the setup instructions for T3 on Solaris:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-2023/6m8dc81vg?l=en&a=view

These are all places I'd look first.  What have you done so far?

What does V480's OBP say when you type in "probe-scsi-all"?  Does it see
the internal FCAL and T3 disks?  If it doesn't see the T3's wwn
(50020f2300002c63), then you have a bad HBA, bad cable, or bad T3 port.  
Just a SWAG, but if you have spares of each of these components that are
known good, then swap them out for these questionable components one at
a time.  Otherwise, it's time to call your service vendor and have them
deal with it. You _have_ a support contact for this high-end equipment,
right?  

If not, why not?  How much time have you spent trying to figure out why
it's not working (other than the obvious things) and how much is your
time worth?

It does not see anything. The V480 we bought is refurnished. T3 port
is good because it works with other machine. Cable should be fine
because we this is the second new cable. I need to figure out how to
diagnose the built-in HBA? And we do not have service support.
