Although I did not detailed the problem they hit the nail
on the head. The ESS is differential scsi and I was trying
single-ended host adapters; 1063A, 1032A and the 420r's
onboard adapter. (Turned out all Sun onboard adapters are
single ended.)
Once we received the recommended 6541A, everything was working
fine, we have the Shark now hooked up with a 20 meters cable to
the 420r.

Hi,
we are trying to connect an IBM ESS (Shark) to Sun Enterprise
servers (420,450,3500) over SCSI but have not succeeded yet.
The servers does not detect (probe-scsi-all) the ESS volumes,
actually they don't detect any device which is on the same bus
with the ESS.
There are lots of things we have not tried yet, so it is not
a distress call (now), but I'd be grateful for any experience
connecting Suns to the Shark over SCSI.
thanks,
Imre
