[Sunhelp] scsi errors

[morgan.g]

Hi,

Let's get one thing straight first, for Sparc systems, the internal disks 
are always, c0t3d0(bottom) and c0t1d0 (top),ofcourse  the external disk can 
be set by you. In your case it must be c0t2d0. Ans it seems like, your 
external disk is giving problems:

>Jun 11 08:37:38 rs17 unix: WARNING:
/iommu at f,e0000000/sbus at f,e0001000/espdma at f,400000/esp at f,800000/sd at 2,0 (sd2):
>Jun 11 08:37:38 rs17 unix:  SCSI transport failed: reason 'reset':
>Jun 11 08:37:38 rs17 unix: giving up

These type of errors are normally due to either hardware failure or the 
target address being wrong, make sure no other devices are using anyone of 
these targets. Also check the cabling (compatible scsi type, correct 
terminator, compatible disk etc..)

If cabling and targets are ok, then do not boot the system with this disk 
first. After booting with internal disk only, connect the external disk, 
then do this:

# drvconfig;disks

This should re-create the driver for you and you should be able to see the 
disk 2. Tey doing a format here to view the disk. If all this fails, isolate 
the disk and try connecting to another sparc system to see if it works 
there.

cheers
Morgan
