Cannot see LUNs after server move

We had a bunch of NTFS LUN's on a server that crashed (2003x64/Snapdrive
4.2.1). We are trying to move the LUNS to another server(Snapdrive
6/Win2k3x64). To do this we did the following:

1) Unmap old initiator from lun

2) Zone new server to the Netapp filer.

3) Try to use connect disk from new server to the lun

4) This gives a error saying drive notification timeout

To debug this more, I opened Disk Management. The disks do not show up
there either. But they show up as LUNs under Device manager. Why do
the LUN's show up in Device Manager/Disk drives but not in Disk
management?

Thanks

Suresh

what does lun show command show ?

does the new server have the user (that uses snapdrive to talk to the
appliance) setup correctly ?
