Install SCSI Jaz drive in Sparc Solaris

I recently got a Sun Sparc 10 Ultra with Solaris 10 installed on it. Now I'm trying to connect my SCSI Jaz drive to it. I moved my Adaptec AHA-2940U PCI SCSI card from my XP PC (where it was working OK) to the Sun and that's about as far as I got.

I did a probe-scsi-all and got nothing back, just another "OK" prompt. I logged in and did this:

Code:
bash-3.00$ dmesg | grep "scsi" 
Feb 23 02:57:58 bristol scsi: [ID 193665 kern.info] sd1 at uata0: target  2 lun 0 
Feb 23 20:06:09 bristol rootnex: [ID 349649 kern.info] scsi_vhci0 at root 
Feb 23 20:06:09 bristol genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] scsi_vhci0 is  /scsi_vhci 
Feb 23 20:06:13 bristol rootnex: [ID 349649 kern.info] iscsi0 at root 
Feb 23 20:06:13 bristol genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] iscsi0 is /iscsi 
Feb 23 20:06:56 bristol scsi: [ID 193665 kern.info] sd1 at uata0: target  2 lun 0

But I'm not sure what to make of that. I found some reference to this card for Solaris 10 here (URL to page on unix.derkeiler.com removed to satisfy forum poster)
but I'm not really sure if that's what I need. According to a page on doc.oracle.com, the 2940U is "supported by the cadp driver" (whatever that is).

I'd really appreciate any help in figuring this one out before I go stumbling around making a mess of things. Thanks!
