PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
In reference to BugId# 4141207 "No support for A1000 on Solaris 2.7".
The following symptoms may be encountered:
The driver succeeds in attaching but the lun devices for A1000 under
/dev/rdsk are not mapped to pseudo/rdnexus@3/rdriver@5,4:a,raw
as expected.
Abbreviated "Sample" Error message shown below:
During Lun creation (A1000):

CORRECTIVE ACTION:
PatchId 106552 provides the drivers and other pieces necessary to
support Solaris 7 in either 32bit or 64bit mode. The patch requires
RM6.1.1 Update 1 be installed first. Note that user's should save their
/etc/path_to_inst file before removing previous RM 6 versions and then
restore it after installing RM 6.1.1 Update 1. Users should also pre-
serve their /kernel/drv/sd.conf file before upgrading.
PatchId 106552 also requires patch 106513 to be installed. See
the patch README for all the installation instructions. The recommend-
ed sequence is to install patch 106552 and its prerequisites while
still running under Solaris 2.6 or 2.5.1 and then upgrade to Solaris 7.
