As a follow up to this, dmesg shows that the kernel did find my missing drive during boot:
Boot drive Jul 5 23:56:48 blade scsi: [ID 193665 kern.notice] sd1 at glm0: target 0 lun 0 Jul 5 23:56:48 blade genunix: [ID 936769 kern.notice] sd1 is /[EMAIL PROTECTED],700000/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 Missing second drive Jul 5 23:57:00 blade scsi: [ID 193665 kern.notice] sd2 at glm0: target 1 lun 0 Jul 5 23:57:00 blade genunix: [ID 936769 kern.notice] sd2 is /[EMAIL PROTECTED],700000/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 Symbolic links are created under /dev/rdsk for both drives but the backing devices under the /devices tree are not created for the second drive. The second drive is not listed in /usr/sbin/prtconf output. There is no error message to be found in the logs. Fmdump/fmadm does not reveal any fault logs. This drive was detected and working under Solaris 10U5 in the morning, but after an upgrade install from U4 (which had been an upgrade install from Solaris 9). I was not happy with the mess reported by pkgchk so I decided to install U5 from scratch and now the drive device is missing. Can anyone help me get my drive back?
