I think you are right. That's also my study result. If these disks were not configured at BIOS level, they won't be recognized by the OS.
That's a big issue. We have to make a down time to reconfigure the disks at BIOS level.
Is there a better solution?

I have a V490 that has couple internal disks attached to the same dual-port HBA card that I'm planning attach to the SAN for additional storage.
Would I sacrifice performance if I use the same HBA?
Is it better to throw in a new HBA instead? (1 Reply)

Hey everyone. First, let me start by saying I'm primarily focused on linux boxes, and just happened to get pulled into building two T5220's. I'm not super educated on sun boxes.
Both T5220's have 8 146GB 15k SAS drives. Inside the service processor, I can run SHOW /SYS/HDD{0-7} and they all come... (2 Replies)

pnpbios
PNPBIOS(4) BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual PNPBIOS(4)
NAME
pnpbios -- support for embedded devices on the motherboard
DESCRIPTION
The pnpbios driver enumerates embedded ISA devices on the motherboard whose BIOS supports ``Plug and Play BIOS Specification''. It assigns
ISA bus resources (interrupt line, DMA channel, I/O ports, and memory region) to each device and activates it.
If it cannot assign necessary resources to a device without causing conflict with other devices in the system, the device will not be acti-
vated and will be unavailable to programs.
CAVEATS
There is no explicit way to disable individual embedded devices. The pnpbios driver will find all devices reported by the ``Plug and Play
(PnP)'' BIOS and try to activate them all.
There is no way to explicitly assign particular resource to a device. The resource assignment is fully automatic and there is no provision
for manual override.
