Thanks for your input - actually I had forgotten about the zoning and the new space *was* coming from a different NetAPP. However my storage guy did *not* forget. Plus, as a troubleshooting step he added a new LUN from a NetAPP that was already connected to the server. No luck. Also got another server (did I mention this earlier) that is in the same zoning-group, same OS levels and it could get a new LUN with no problem. So it really seems isolated to this one server. (Which really just makes no sense to me...)
Well, think of it like that: having found out what was NOT the culprit is a step forward, no? ;-)
First off, i suppose you also have checked that the device the disk is supposed to be attached to is also working - if you have all your other NetApp disks attached to FC adapter A and the new one to adapter B then adapter B might be the problem.
I have no experience with the NetApp drivers but maye something is wrong with the ODM entries concerning the device(s). You may try a
rmdev -Rdl on the adapter and then a rediscovery via
cfgmgr to rebuild that. Notice that to
completely clean the ODM you need to
varyoffvg all the volume groups consisting of disks coming from the adapter you are deleting. If they are still online they will hold at least one FC connection (i.e one hdisk device if the driver is multipath enabled) open.
I hope this helps.

vxsplitlines
vxsplitlines(1M) vxsplitlines(1M)
NAME
vxsplitlines - show disks with conflicting configuration copies in a cluster
SYNOPSIS
vxsplitlines [-g diskgroup] [-c daname]
DESCRIPTION
If you import portions of a disk group on different systems, this can lead to conflicting configuration copies on the disks of the disk
group.
If the configuration information in a disk group is ambiguous, it may not be possible for Veritas Volume Manager to determine which config-
uration copy is most up-to-date. (This is usually termed a serial split brain (SSB) condition when it occurs in a cluster.) You cannot
import a disk group in this state unless you specify which disk's configuration copy to use.
You can use the vxsplitlines command to see which disks in a disk group have conflicting configuration copies, and use this information
together with your knowledge of the history of the disk groups' usage to determine which configuration copy is most valid.
The output from vxsplitlines displays the vxdg commands that you can run to import the disk group using the available configuration copies.
The -o selectcp option of the vxdg import command is used to select the configuration copy to use for the import.
OPTIONS
-c daname Display the SSB IDs for each disk that are stored in the configuration copy on the disk specified by its disk access name.
Note: Although the SSB IDs for some disks may match, this does not necessarily mean that those disks' configuration copies have
recorded all the configuration changes. When viewed from some other configuration copies, the SSB IDs of the same disks may not
match.
-g diskgroup
Specifies the disk group. If a disk group is not specified, the default disk group is used as determined from the rules on the
vxdg(1M) manual page.
EXAMPLES
Display the disks on each side of the split in the disk group newdg:
vxsplitlines -g newdg
Display the SSB IDs stored in the configuration copy on disk c2t4d0:
vxsplitlines -g newdg -c c2t4d0
NOTES
The vxsplitlines is primarily intended to be used with private disk groups, but it also works with shared disk groups.
The version number of the disk group must be 110 or greater.
