Hello All,
This one has my local field service engineer stumped.
I have just had a second SCSI controller installed on my Alpha 2100
and cabled into a BA-350 storage shelf. This went fine, the console
sees the SCSI controller in the PCI bus and if you put a rz28 disk
in slot 0 it can see it OK. I then booted the OS (OSF/1 V3.0) and
configured the kernal to see the new disk and all was good, partioned
the new disk, created a file system (using UFS) and mounted and it all
seemed to work. Shut the OS down and the disk could no longer be seen
at through the SHOW DEV or SHOW CONFIG commands, it was dead. OK bad
disk we figured, replaced with a new one, yes it could be seen at the
console and all worked OK UNTIL you halt the OS and then you can't
see it again. 2 disks in as many days ! My field engineer is not game
to put another one in yet until he does more research. the system
functions perfectly otherwise ? All the disks on the first SCSI are fine.
Anybody have any ideas or seen similar behaviour ?
Many Thanks in Advance...
