Personally, I'd recommend that you get the expander to attach using sgen(7d), if you have that option with your software stack. sgen "scsiclass,0d" is what you should see in your /etc/driver_aliases file. The expander will show up in cfgadm output too, and if you're running NV then you could use the /usr/lib/scsi/sestopo utility to find out interesting things about your enclosure. Cheers, James C.
