Sun StorageArray A1000 not seen by probe-scsi-all

[Matthew J. Brodeur]

   This one may be WAY off, but it's worth considering.
   I know that on Sun 4u machines you can't reliably run the probe-scsi
command after a halt or Stop-A. Normally one has to set auto-boot?=false
and reset the machine in order to probe the buses without hanging the
system.
   I'm sure it's well documented, but I've run into enough people
(including myself at times) who've forgotten about it.
