The man page for MAKEDEV specifies that MAKEDEV supports up to 8 SCSI
devices. Therefore sdh will be the last one. I tried MAKEDEV update after
installing the drives with the option of listing just the modification
withouti nstalling them. It wa not going to add any new drives.
Drives are Fibre-Channel, so no termination involved. The drives are seen by
the kernel, as highlighted by the logs I attached.
I think I need to make the nodes myself in /dev using mknod but I need to
know how to find out major/minor number to identify the device.

That is odd, I am on a machine that has up to j with no special config
on my part.
Have you checked your SCSI terminiation?
In the /dev dir do you have device entries for more then sdh?
I have 256 entries.
If for some reason you do not have these entries, you should be able to
create them with the MAKEDEV script in /dev. This is a package that
might not be installed by default so you may need to add this.
