This is what I posted a few weeks ago.  Since then I have received a few
suggestions, but still couldn't solve my problem until yesterday.

I have discovered that there were other zones beside the 'systems Network'
that I can mount my SUN disk without any problems.  So, I compared two
networks (zones).  Difference was one has Shiva telebridges as a part
of the network, and the others don't.   Since I have an extra FP/4,
I set up a dedicated FP/4 for all the telebridges.
Now, everything is working perfect.  I don't know exactly why it didn't
work if there were telebridges on the network, but at least it's working
now.  Thanks everyone, especially those people who emailed me their suggestions.
