Note that you will need to reboot the system as part of these steps.
Step 4. If the c8xx driver is in the kernel but the A6829A adapter is still not claimed, check the /var/adm/syslog.log file for errors like these:
Jan 11 16:08:00 svt38 vmunix: SCSI: SIOP RAM address out of range
Jan 11 16:12:05 svt38 vmunix: init of hardware not successful. id=10000021 and
my_isc=24

Step 5. Follow the normal procedure to install the required patches.

ioscan -fnk
The applicable lines in the ioscan output could look like this:
ext_bus 0 0/0/10/0/0 c8xx CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI C1010 Ultra160 Wide LVD
In the example above, the pieces of information that are
If the A6829A adapter is claimed, you have fixed the problem.
