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:
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!

scsi_device
scsi_device(9S) Data Structures for Drivers scsi_device(9S)NAME
scsi_device - SCSI device structure
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
DESCRIPTION
The scsi_device structure stores common information about each SCSI logical unit, including pointers to areas that contain both generic and
device specific information. There is one scsi_device structure for each logical unit attached to the system. The host adapter driver ini-
tializes part of this structure prior to probe(9E) and destroys this structure after a probe failure or successful detach(9E).
STRUCTURE MEMBERS
struct scsi_address sd_address; /* Routing information */
dev_info_t *sd_dev; /* Cross-reference */
/* to our dev_info_t */
kmutex_t sd_mutex; /* Mutex for this device */
struct scsi_inquiry *sd_inq; /* scsi_inquiry data structure */
struct scsi_extended_sense *sd_sense; /* Optional request */
/* sense buffer ptr */
caddr_t sd_private; /* Target drivers private data */
sd_address contains the routing information that the target driver normally copies into a scsi_pkt(9S) structure using the collection of
makecom(9F) functions. The SCSA library routines use this information to determine which host adapter, SCSI bus, and target/logical unit
number (lun) a command is intended for. This structure is initialized by the host adapter driver.
sd_dev is a pointer to the corresponding dev_info structure. This pointer is initialized by the host adapter driver.
sd_mutex is a mutual exclusion lock for this device. It is used to serialize access to a device. The host adapter driver initializes this
mutex. See mutex(9F).
sd_inq is initially NULL (zero). After executing scsi_probe(9F), this field contains the inquiry data associated with the particular
device.
sd_sense is initially NULL (zero). If the target driver wants to use this field for storing REQUEST SENSE data, it should allocate an
scsi_extended_sense(9S) buffer and set this field to the address of this buffer.
sd_private is reserved for the use of target drivers and should generally be used to point to target specific data structures.
