I did perform a complete firmware update across the board either before
or 
after the OS install, so that is not the issue.

If it is a driver issue, would it be the OS-supplied one?   The system
is 
installed with CentOS 5 which saw the vdisks without a problem.

If not the OS-supplied one, a driver with Nagios?

Thanks for any further help.
