> Dear Friends:
> Two weeks ago I had a problem with a Raid 1 in channel 2 of the raid
> controller.
> The raid is defined in the same channel.
> I have installed the utility swxcr, and i am running the daemon
> process
> in background that monitors the raid controller.
> The utility command that I have used to monitor is: SWXCRMON XCR0 -m
> -l -I10
> And it creates a file called 31-Jul-03:45_XCR0.log, which content is:
> 31 Jul 1997 03:45 The hard disk at channel 2, target 0 had 33 soft
> errors
> 31 Jul 1997 03:55 The hard disk at channel 2, target 0 had 2 soft
> errors
> 31 Jul 1997 03:45 The hard disk at channel 2, target 0 had A soft
> errors.
>
> THE RAID THAT I HAD PROBLEMS WAS THE ONE FOR GROUP D, THIS IS THE
> LOGICAL DRIVE 3

> * What does it mean the soft errors that appear in the file
> 31-Jul-03:45_XCR0.log.?
> * Does it mean a channel error?
> * Is that utility swxcrmon a trusting utility?
> * Do any of you use it, and which is the last version of it?
