It seems that there is a special driver that needs to be installed in order for linux to detect and use the SCSI drives on my particular 7025-6F1 pSeries 620 server. I know that it should seem self-explanatory. "Duh, yeah, it needs drivers." In my defense, however, previous x86 IBM servers I'd worked with that include ServeRAID SCSI adaptors didn't need me to do anything to get their SCSI-based storage to work. I'm wandering into new territory here.
So I'm thinking / hoping / praying that IPRUTILS is the ticket. I'll post my installation notes once I get everything working. For those out there who are struggling with a PPC-based Linux server, take heart. You are not alone.
