Recognizing new HW

[reinstalled]

If I install a new backplane to accomodate more disk drives
how do I to "see" them?

devfsadm?

Thanks

touch reconfigure (as root from /) and rebooting is not sufficient?

Or executing drvconfig?

Unless there is something special involved in the backplane install (like needing a new driver for the scsi interface) that is normally all that is needed.

can you tell us something more about the hardware? What is the host, what dod you cange?

What should work (only some HW-Raid drivers don't):

shutdown host to OBP
ok setenv auto-boot? false
ok reset # depending on which OPB/Hardware its ether/or
ok reset-all
ok probe-scsi-all
now you should see the new devices on the SCSI bus

ok setenv auto-boot? true # if it was true
ok boot -rv

new devices/disks should be visible in format
if you are running a HW raid you need to start the RAID Manager Software to add new disks to the OS
