Why aren't my new scsi devices recognized after I install them?
Scsi devices that are added to the system, when the power is off, will be recognized during POST by your scsi hba. Be sure to enter the HBA config program so that your HBA settings match your device's capabilities. Then you can boot to single user mode (only for the sake of speed) and run
sdiconfig -l
to get a listing of your devices which looks similar to:

sdiconfig -l 

 
      0:0,7,0: HBA     : (adsb,1) Adaptec PCI SCSI
        0,0,0: DISK    : IBM     DRVS09V         0140
        0,1,0: DISK    : IBM     DDRS-34560D     DC1B
        0,2,0: TAPE    : HP      HP35480A        T603
        0,3,0: CDROM   : PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-40TS  1.00

If all of your devices are not listed, but were found by the HBA during POST, then you may need to check scsi id's and termination. Be sure that you have inserted the cable with Pin 1 matching the red stripe on the cable, and try to use the best cables you can.

After pulling on cables and bending them, they can fail. Also, be sure you HBA BIOS is the most recent version.
