What disks are zoned to those fiber connections?

The "unconfigured" part stands out as well. Does it need a
driver updated ...

Hi
i have no idea what should i do to solve problem, i found patch for
PCI-X and PCI Express but its FCODE version less than System FCODE
version number, i have trouble, so i could not achieve any update? did
you ever have similar problem like that? i have no idea disk zones
there is no zones at that time, my duty is that the system must see
installed PCI express and PCI-X card on the V245 sun system via
cfgadm command and zoning will be done later? but even i saw all the
cards by prtdiag i could not see them by cfgadm command. What can i
do? my customer will hang me as soon as possible i think)
Thank you very much your answer
Best Regards
