Hello,
we are getting mad with an apparently unsolvable problem manifested by
CAM SCSI errors in the binary.errlog file in correspondence with dump/vdump
backup of the disks on tapes (DAT).
We did not have such problems before the end of last year, using the same
hardware. However there was the y2k problem, you know :-) , and we upgraded
from 4.0B to 4.0D + patches + firmware upgrade. After that we could make just
a full dump without problems and then, the sequence of errors started.
We used different dat devices (and different cables).
Compaq support, after checking the SCSI HW (KZPBACX), suggested that the
problem could come from some possible corruption of the system SW. After
verifying that if we boot the system from CD there is no problem in dumping
fylesystems on tape, we have gone through a painful fresh install of 4.0D +
patches and now... we get again the same errors.
At this point we look for any suggestion/help in understanding what could be the
origin of the problem. Is there any way to understand it from the uerf output ?
I enclose some information about the present HW/SW configuration as well as a
sample output from uerf -R -o full.
Thanks
Alessandra Richetti
