Dears managers,

I have a very urgent problem to solve and need help from people who have
experience with DECsafe/ASE.

We are trying to share disks between an AS 2100-4/200 and a AS 2000-4/233.
Disks are located in a BA356. Each AlphaServer have a PZKSA differential
SCSI controleur. Our firmwares are all up to date.

The BA356 and one of the AlphaServer terminate the differential SCSI bus.

When we power on only one of the two AlphaServer it sees all the disques on the
SCSI bus 0 and the SCSI bus 1 (the differentiel shared bus).
We use '>>> sh dev' get get the list of the devices.

When we power on the two AlphaServer, no one of them sees the disques in the
BA356. We see only the disques on bus 0 (private bus).


We left all the terminators on the differentiel to single-ended converter in
the BA356.


I have call DEC people since this morning but I am still waiting for their answer.

Who have an idea of the origin of our problem ? We really need help !


Thanks in advance.
