tru64 5.0, Infortrend RAID, hwmgr

I'm using an Infortrend RAID controller with a RAID 5 set
which looks to the Alpha DS20 as 4 drives. Right now
they are assigned to:
    bus target lun
     3 0 0
     3 0 1 (This was an experiment after trying 3-1-0)
     3 2 0
     3 3 0

At the ">>> sho dev" level, everything shows up fine. However,
when booted, "hwmgr sho scsi" shows only one disk device
file and one HWID number. I suspect this is because all
four Infortrend logical drive partitions are outputting the same
name. A "hwmgr sho scsi -full" for the HWID that shows up is:


        SCSI DEVICE DEVICE DRIVER NUM DEVICE FIRST
 HWID: DEVICEID HOSTNAME TYPE SUBTYPE OWNER PATH FILE VALID PATH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
   87: 9 coral disk none 0 4 dsk12 [3/0/1]

      WWID:04100028:"IFT 3102 002F101D"


      BUS TARGET LUN PATH STATE
      ------------------------------
      3 0 1 valid
      3 2 0 valid
      3 3 0 valid
      3 0 0 unknown

(This was after a bit of experimenting with deleting and scanning things.)

Is there a way to get a disk device assigned in spite of this
non-unique name? Perhaps some way of running 'hwmgr -edit scsi ...'?
So far that has been unsuccessful.

It seems like it would want to have a different HWID with a different
path assigned for each, rather than it thinking there is one HWID
with several different paths.


thanks,
