I should have given some more info about the HBA etc in use - it's an 
LSI 9205-8e (SAS2308, using mps driver), and dmesg is telling me the HBA 
has (IT) firmware 14.00.00.00. Don't know if this is good or bad but it 
appears to match the mps driver version, if that means anything.

I can see LSI is up to firmware 19.00.00.00 for the card, and I know 
I've seen discussion here of the favored version, but can't find it now.

However SAS2IRCU can see the added drive even when camcontrol fails to, 
so I'm not sure that it's related to the HBA as such - unless SAS2IRCI 
gets that information by a different path such as querying the enclosure 
controller.
