ES45, OpenVMS 8.3, 6 local SCSI drives (DKA0 through DKA500) in drive cage, one SCSI adapter KZPCA. The console sees all 6 drives (see attached log)
If I boot from DKA0, DKA400 is not seen by VMS after the system is up (only 5 drives are seen). If I boot from DKA400 (I had done an image backup of dka0 to dka400 to ensure I could really access DKA400 and that it was working properly), VMS sees all 6 drives after the system is up.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Re: Disk not seen by VMS
Poke around in the error log and see if anything interesting got logged.
I'd next probably pull the Fibre Channel adapters (as a test) and try this sequence again.
Further along, swap a couple of bricks, and see if the problem moves around, and swap out DKA400 for a known-good brick. On no evidence, I'd look at involving DKA300 and/or DKA400 in some swapping for no reason other than because they're identical. Make one different and you're rather more sure. With two identical bricks, uncertainty abounds.
Also try a second shelf, if you have one around. Bad shelves can be pretty weird.
I'm sure you've checked ECOs. There was a FC SCSI ECO within the past week or two, IIRC.
But do try changing the labels first. (And no, this should not cause the device to be ex-configured.)
You can use CDDVD /INQUIRE to get serial numbers out of the bricks, etc. SET COMMAND SYS$ETC:CDDVD$TOOLS, then CDDVD /INQUIRE ddcu: to get the data. There is also the SYS$ETC:SCSI_INFO tool as well. These can help ensure you're looking at what you think you are.

Re: Disk not seen by VMS
I don't know how that disk got excluded. Thanks!
$ mc sysman
SYSMAN> io show exclude
%SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node CLCC
%SYSMAN-I-IOEXCLUDE, the current permanent exclusion list is: JKB0,DKB100,DKB200
,JKA300,DKA400
SYSMAN> *EXIT*

Re: Disk not seen by VMS
want it automatically served to the cluster.
I do that in SYS$MANAGER:SYCONFIG.COM, so
that I can use SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE /SELECT
on it later. SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE /EXCLUDE
is a little too permanent for my purposes.
I don't know what your excuse was (but you'd
better have a good one).
