Additional Information
Novell is providing this information as a convenience to
customers. The information above came from QLogic. If
you can issue a "SCAN FOR NEW DEVICES" at the server console and
still not see the LUN(s), the problem is likely somewhere other
than NetWare. It could be an issue with the Driver (including
switches), the Firmware, or LUN masking in the SAN Fabric.
You may want to contact QLogic if the issue persists.
