Solaris 10 SCSI card question

UNIX Solaris
1

I have 2 solaris boxes and trying to connect to D1000 to do clustering. I put the U cable to see the disks from both side, but I can't see any of the disks when I use format command. How can I verify that differential card is installed and configured correctly? Thanks in advance.

2

have you done a "reconfigure" boot or a "devfsadm" after pluging in the array?

3

yes, it didn't bring any output. When I run format command system freeze after 30 second. How can I confirm that controller is working? I mean differential card is configured.

4

try:

drvconfig
disks
devlinks
ucblinks
then run format command.

WHats your OS? Solaris 8 , 9 , 10? whatever.. as long you do a reconfig boot, you can see

6

is the scsi bus terminated correctly? for your scsi card have a look at the output of "prtdiag -v".

7

Thank you guys. I'm new to this. How do I confirm that scsci card is terminated correctly. I just wanted to use for clustering purpose to see all the disks from both side.

Thanks a lot guys.

you can't see if it is correctly terminated... you have to check it's done! this is hardware. read here:

Here is the output from cfgadm -a. As you can see c1 and c2 is the one installed.

cfgadm -a

Hello,

Please use the below commnads and it's better to mention the Solaris version.

#devfsadm
#drvconfig

Please wait for few moments. Check the things happened correctly by using format command.

Thanks,
Deepak

Thanks a lot guys.

When I try drvconfig comman it is trying to sync with array and getting the following error messages in the loop. Do you have any idea?

>got SCSI bus
> glm0: fault detected in device; service still available

---------- Post updated at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous update was at 08:39 AM ----------

Also, when I boot the server it is not loading. The following error message is comming.

>got SCSI bus
> glm0: fault detected in device; service still available

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

try to make a drawing of your setup... maybe we can find an error in your configuration.

Here is the setup.

In the D1000 ARRAY I have U cable connecting between SCSI A to SCSI B.

IN the boxes, both are connected to SCSI channel A.

Am I missing anything here? Thanks a lot all of you.
