Hi,
  For the last 5 years we've been running a fairly large enterprise backup 
system with HP's Data Protector on a HPUX system.  The backups mostly happen 
via SAN, and in the beginning we had a lot of issues with "I/O Errors".  These 
were due to hosts with device monitors on ( compaq insight manager, HPUX 
RaidMON, etc. ).  
Since then it's been smooth sailing.

  Well, it was time for a new server so we picked a Sun v445.  Beautiful box, 
but of course we have issues, the "I/O Errors" are back.  I know devfsadmd 
looks for new devices, but killing it didn't seem to help, docs pointed me to 
/kernel/drv/fp.conf and manual_configuration_only=1 might help, but enabling 
that create a problem getting an SAN disk to mount.  

So my question, what can be disabled to stop the system from 
"discovering/probing" for  new devices?  Or even better, is there something 
else I'm missing?

Thanks,

Tom de
