Server doesn't properly recognize lun

We are trying to bring a new server online and attach it to an EMC Clariion. But we cannot get the server to properly recognize the new lun.

The server is an rp5470 and is running HP UX 11.0.

When we attach the lun, we get the following output from the ioscan and diskinfo:

#ioscan -fnC disk
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
==========================================
disk 5 0/2/0/0.106.6.19.0.0.1 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE DGC CX400WDR5

SCSI describe of /dev/rdsk/c7t0d1:

Yet, if we move the lun to an existing server, we get the results we want:

# ioscan -fnC disk

i ended up downloading the emc installation guide for HP UX :-).

based upon that, i changed the initiator type to to "HP auto trespass" and failover mode "0".

That made the new server happy. i'm still not sure why it was recognized by the old server.
