There's an amber LED that is lit up on the system, so I logged on to take a look at the fault. I'm not sure how to interpret fault messages, and this one seems especially unhelpful:

Code:
-> start /SP/faultmgmt/shell
Are you sure you want to start /SP/faultmgmt/shell (y/n)? y

Try using:
Code:
 
format -e

from Solaris (#). Get into the scsi menu. Nothing to lose if you don't need the data on the disks.
Okay, I will try that. What should I do once I get into the scsi menu?

Format -e should see them; so should probe-scsi-asll.
Yes, this is not looking good. I shut down the system and reseated all of the disks before running probe-scsi-all, and all of the drives are showing green lights (except for one, but after pulling it out and reseating it, the green light turned on).
