What is your operating system version? If 4.0X You may try booting the genvmunix kernel and compiling a new kernel.

not allowed to compile the Kernel cos server running a critical Application.Please give me a alternate solution?

# hwmgr â scan scsi (scan all SCSI buses)
# hwmgr â view devices (View all SCSI devices)
Also you can check if you device was detected by OS with:
#uerf -Rr 300 |more
If it didn´t work, you need to recreate a new kernel

# hwmgr -scan scsi (scan all SCSI buses)
# hwmgr -view devices (View all SCSI devices)
