[SunHELP] SOLVED: Sol8/SDS4.2.1/"overlaps with device dXX"

[Michael Karl]

Hello,

the problem - "overlaps with device dxx" with non-SUN-SCSI-Disks and
non-SUN-Hardware-RAIDs with multiple LUN-Options - seems to be solved.

First of all the tool "rwdevid" seems to work only with non-SUN-IDE-Drives.

I found one solution for scsi: edit /kernel/drv/sd.conf at the end.

To do: "format -e" -> "select the disk" -> "scsi" -> "inquiry"

       We need:
       8 Characters Vendor / 16 Characters Product /
       ignoring spaces at the end

First example:
Inquiry:           
    00 00 04 02 3b 00 41 32 4e 45 58 53 41 4e 20 20     ....;.A2NEXSAN
                            ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^             ^^^^^^^^
    41 54 41 62 6f 79 28 30 41 30 42 30 43 30 44 29     ATAboy(0A0B0C0D)
    ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    34 30 31 33 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00     4013............
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00        ...............

at the end of /kernel/drv/sd.conf add following 3 lines
with a return at the end of the last line:

sd-config-list=
"NEXSAN  ATAboy(0A0B0C0D)", "bad-serial-number";
bad-serial-number=1,0x8,0,0,0,0,0;


Second example:
Inquiry:
    00 00 02 02 1f 00 00 30 43 4d 44 20 54 45 43 48     .......0CMD TECH
                            ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^             ^^^^^^^^
    43 52 44 2d 35 33 33 30 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20     CRD-5330
    ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    43 31 2d                                            C1-

at the end of /kernel/drv/sd.conf add following 3 lines
with a return at the end of the last line:

sd-config-list=
"CMD TECHCRD-5330", "bad-serial-number";
bad-serial-number=1,0x8,0,0,0,0,0;

These examples are working fine under Solaris 8 (latest recommended
Patch-Cluster) and SDS 4.2.1.

Also TransMetaDeviceLogging works fine.

Special Thanks to Steve Sandau and Patrick Eagan (HP-Forum ;-)

No more downgrading to SDS 4.2 ...
