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.

NAME
hpfc - Agilent fibre channel host bus adapter
SYNOPSIS
PCI pci103c
DESCRIPTION
The hpfc fibre channel host bus adapter is a SCSA compliant nexus driver that supports all Agilent fibre channel host bus adapters, includ-
ing the HHBA5100x, HHBA5101x, and HHBA5121x models. Agilent host bus adapters support the fibre channel protocol on private fibre channel
arbitrated loops and fabrics. The driver supports up to ten host bus adapters, with a maximum of 125 fibre channel devices on each host bus
adapter. The hpfc driver supports a maximum of 256 LUNs per target.
The hpfc driver does not support the BIOS Int 13 feature, which enables the booting of an operating system. As a result, you should not
install an operating system on devices attached to the hpfc driver.
CONFIGURATION
The hpfc driver attempts to configure itself using the information in the /kernel/drv/hpfc.conf configuration file.
By default, the driver supports only LUN 0 for each target device. To add multiple LUN support, modify the /kernel/drv/sd.conf file.
Before upgrading the hpfc driver, backup the sd.conf file to save customized LUN settings and then use pkgrm(1M) to remove the old version
of the driver.
The host bus adapter port is initialized to FL_Port when connected to a fabric switch. To change it to F_Port, add the init_as_nport=1
entry to the hpfc.conf file and reboot the system.
To conserve system resources, at least one disk drive must be attached to the hpfc driver. If no devices are attached, the driver will not
load.
