Hi all,
Since we bought our AlphaStation 200 equiped with an internal 1 Gb DEC
R226F disk and an external 4 Gb SEAGATE disk, I'm collecting a huge ammount
of "ERROR EVENT" in the binary.log file. More than three hundred messages
are logged in that file every week, with all the same TYPE : CAM SCSI. Both
the two disks generate the same problem (LUN x0, TARGET x0 and LUN x0,
TARGET x2), but the internal one is the subject of more than 80% of the
logged errors.
Help needed ! :-) Has someone faced the same problems, and what is the
origin of these error logs ?
In general, these "problems" do not crash the server, but from times to
times, swap error occur (half swap is on SCSI0 and the other on SCSI2) and
the CPU halts with a panic error. This kind of "crash" is expected because
of the failures on the external disk. I have no idea of the impact of the
CAM errors on the performances of the whole server.
BTW, I'm running Digital Unix v4.0, with 56 Mb of RAM, and there is also a
DAT drive on the external SCSI chain, which does not seem to have problems
(at least I hope my backups are not corrupted yet :-))
Thanks in advance for any advise or comment
