The raidctl utility isn't going to do anything to help configure LUNs presented from any fiber channel array, assuming that's how the P2000 is connected in this case.

Post the output from this:

Code:
for port in `fcinfo hba-port | grep Port | awk '{ print $4 }'`; do
         echo $port;
         fcinfo remote-port -ls -p $port;
done

If the array is properly connected to the HBA ports, that should show SOMETHING even if it doesn't show the actual LUNs. You should probably get a copy of the P2000 documentation and make sure you have the array connected properly.

If this HBA can see the LUNs, the OS will be able to access them.
