[SunHELP] E3500 - D1000 connection problems

[Howard Hurst]

I'm having problems trying to connect a D1000 to an E3500.

I've only got one Wide SCSI Differential card in the E3500 and want to see
all 12 X 32Gb disks in the D1000, ie the D1000 is only connected to this one
particular host..

(The SCSI card was attached to a StorEdge L280 tape drive so it is working.)

I have tried to connect the two together exactly as described in the PDF
manual available on the SunSolve website. The E3500 is connected to the left
hand side SCSI port of the D1000, then the next two ports on the D1000 are
connected together via a small SCSI cable. Finally a terminator is placed in
the remaining port on the right hand side. However, this gives me numerous
errors like this:

May 15 14:34:00 remus unix: Parity Error
May 15 14:34:00 remus unix: WARNING: /sbus at 13,0/QLGC,isp at 0,10000 (isp0):^M^M
May 15 14:34:00 remus unix: Target 0 disabled wide SCSI mode

Now, on the back of the D1000 there is a switch to set the SCSI id and
Configuration Options (1-5). I've no idea what I should set the
Configuration Option to and suspect this may be the problem. When I took
delivery of the box, switch 4 was up. (We've got a D1000 on an E4500 and
switches 4 and 1 are up, but this box has two SCSI cards and so the D1000 is
effectively split in two.)

Any ideas for me to try? Any kind of help appreciated!

Cheers,

Howard.
