Hi,
We have two external Raid-boxes (Infortrend), one since Jun-1998 and the
other one since Mar-1999. They are seen by the Alpha's as one big SCSI-disk.
The first one is shared by two alpha's and runs without problems with
an AS 1000-4/200 (V4.0D) and an AS 500-5/266 (V4.0E).
The second one was tested intensively on an AS 500 without problems.
However when attached to an AS 600-5/333 (V4.0D) some peculiar things happen.
1) When the server is powered-off, the RaidBox is started and then the server is
powered-on, the server doesn't come up. Nothing on the display and an empty
LCD-screen on the server.
2) When the RaidBox is powered-off, the server is started and when the
console-prompt appears the RaidBox is powered-on and the server booted,
everything works (worked) well.
Although this combination now ran without problems for about 9 months,
yesterday the machine crashed, the LCD-screen on the server was empty, and
the monitor went black.
I rebooted the system via procedure 2 and runs ok since then.
Nothing appears in the errolog.
Does anybody on this list has some idea what can be causing this problem?
Perhaps some incorrect console-settings?
