Hello,

I have been tasked to add storage shelves to our StorageWorks MSA 1000
connected to an ES45 (Tru64 5.1B), and it's been one problem after another.
When I first turned off the MSA 1000 to connect the shelves, and turned it
back on, one of the original drives showed up bad.  That was replaced.
Then I upgraded the firmware to v.4.32A (I believe from 4.31).  I also
upgraded the ES45 firmware to v6.9.  But now I can't get my existing or new
volumes that are on the MSA 1000 to show up.  I keep getting this message
upon bootup.

My volumes will not mount, and if I try, I get a vague error about I/O
error.  There are no errors on the MSA 1000 itself.  I can create a diskset
and delete them.  All the disks are fine.  I tried removing the new volume
and disconnecting the new shelves, but even the old volume will not show
up.  I am powering them in the right order, shelves, wait, MSA1000, wait,
ES45.

If anyone knows what's going on I would appreciate it.
