The Solaris node cannot access the SAN database because its Fibre Channel cable is not connected to the loop where the SAN database is located. This problem is most likely to occur in a dual loop configuration in which the SAN database is accessible on one loop but not the other. Make sure the Solaris node is attached to the correct loop.
