You command is not being ignored. There is nothing visible to the HBA for it to 
configure.

So the devices under an HBA show up once they are visible to the HBA. I never 
look at the HBA occupant column for the HBA CX line. I normally look for the 
Type column:

c1                             fc-private
c1::21000020379cb9bb           disk         connected    configured   unknown
c4                             fc-fabric    connected    unconfigured unknown
c5                             fc           connected    unconfigured unknown


C1 is a 280r internal controller
C4 is a HBA attached to a switch with no targets
C5 is a HBA that has nothing connected

Now in the case of C4, when I have it in a zone by itself, I get only this line:
c4 fc-fabric connected unconfigured unknown

But when I add some devices into the zone (I'm not touching or configuring 
anything on the host, only changing the zone on the switch), I get this:
c4                             fc-fabric    connected    unconfigured unknown
c4::100000e0024302c0           tape         connected    unconfigured unknown
c4::210000008708d98d           disk         connected    unconfigured unknown

Then if I perform a "cfgadm -c configure c4" I get this:
c4                             fc-fabric    connected    configured   unknown
c4::100000e0024302c0           tape         connected    configured   unknown
c4::210000008708d98d           disk         connected    configured   unknown

So you see how the WWNs of the targets show up before the HBA is "configured".

The act of "configure" against the HBA port is essentially telling the 
leadville driver stack to present the targets off of the HBA up to the OS. In 
your case where the initial cfgadm -al is not showing any additional devices, 
it tells me the zoning on your switch is preventing the HBA from communicating 
with the storage.

Another way of testing this is to use the OBP "probe-scsi-all" command and see 
if the storage appears from there.
