Hi,

Is there anything listed in /proc/scsi/scsi?

If it's the only SCSI device, 0 should be just fine.

Here we've had some issues with connectors here, but it usually can be
summarised with:

 - be *very* sure that the connector is plugged in correctly.
Tightening the screws isn't optional :)
- verify that the connector's pins aren't bent or broken.

Note that it was experience with the VHDCI connectors and there were
quite a few hardware replacements or moves as well, so YMMV.
