Once you are able to see the disks you should be able to SET HOST/DUP to
them from the console but you're obviously not there yet.
Have you tried hooking the devices one at a time and doing a SHOW DEVICE?
I take it the red 'fault' light is not coming on on the drives?
Does your host even show up in the SHOW DEVICE?
DSSI Node 6 (*)
- or -
DSSI Node 7 (*)
Perhaps the full output of SHOW DEVICE might be helpful.
