Dear managers
Since two weeks I experienced a strange behaviour on an Alphastation
255/233: several crashes without any error messages and any
crash-data information, also with UERF I can't find any useful
information apart a little number of scsi error on disks.
the only message displayed at console is
the following:
halted CPU 0
halt code = 1
operator initiated halt
PC = xxxxxxxxxxxx
Compaq changed the motherboard for a number of
Machine check hardware error and then the system disk for
a strange SCSI behaviour.
But anyway chrashes continue and the only suggestion from
Comapq is that probably the SCSI cable total lenght, inside +
external 1 from ws to expansion bo x(1 meter long) and the other from
expansion box to A TLZ06 DAT unit (1 meter), could be too long.
But today the ws crashed ebev if I have deatched the DAT unit.
I have other three ws with nearly the same arrangement
without such a behaviour.
Could you suggest something or some tests to perform ?
I will summarize
