I'd check these areas :

- Zoning. Log into your fibre switches and ensure zoning is configured,
here's roughly how it works on Brocade !
Find out which ports on the switch the host hba and clariion sp is
plugged into !
# telnet switch
Run the following command to list wwns of connected devices
# switchshow
Then create zoning to allow host hba to see clariion sp throught the
SAN.
> alicreate "clariion_sp", "50:05:08:B2:00:79:91:62"
> alicreate "host_hba", "50:05:08:B2:00:7E:03:F2"
> zonecreate "z_hostname", "host_hba"
> zoneadd "z_hostname", "clariion_sp"
> cfgadd "config", "z_hostname"
> cfgenable "config"


- Clariion
Using navicli or navisphere list hba's that the clariion is aware of :-
# navicli -h <clariion ip or hostname> getall -hba
And search for the WWN of your Sun server.

- Host
It looks like you will be able to sort out the lputil bit, but looking
at the output of 'prtconf -v' to see drivers bound to devices can be
useful and also checking
/var/adm/messages to see messages written to syslog by the hba driver.
