It looks like I may have found the issue here.    I took a Dat72 Drive that we have connected to another system and connected it to this one.   I rebooted and it was properly visible.   I saw that it used a different model of terminator.

I found another terminator of the same type and placed that on one of my three drives that the system has NOT been able to see. in HPUX.  Using the new terminator, the drive was now seen in HPUX. 

 

So in short, I have several imcompatible terminators.    Uhgh. 


Thank you for you time in working with me on this.

Don

Maybe single ended.  The old SCSI cabling seems to be a black art to me.   Some cables work, others don't.  Some terminators work, others don't. 

 

Thanks again for your help.
