Ultra 5 and LSI8751SPE SCSI card in PCI Slot |
|
|
Hello everyone,
I have an Ultra 5, running Solaris 8, with a LSI8751SPE SCSI card in
PCI Slot 3. The SCSI card is attached to a D1000 disk array. At this
point, I cannot get the system and the array to communicate with each
other. The command "probe-scsi-all" detects the card but yields a
message which repeats unto infinity "Bus fault". In multi-user mode,
the command "dmesg" indicates the entry:
<date and time stamp> <server name> scsi: [ID 365881 kern.info]
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@3 (glm0):
<date and time stamp> <server name> Rev.6 Symbios 53c875 found.
<date and time stamp> <server name> simba: [ID 370704 kern.info]
PCI-device: scsi:3, glm0
Also, the "cfgadm -al" command shows the following:
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c0 scsi-bus connected configured
unknown
c0::dsk/c0t0d0 disk connected configured
unknown
c0::dsk/c0t2d0 CD-ROM connected configured
unknown
c1 scsi-bus connected unconfigured
unknown
"cfgadm -f -c configure c1" yields no output, good or bad, and after
trying to configure c1, the output from "cfgadm -al" remains unchaged.
A reconfiguration boot has not helped as well. Lastly, if the problem
is the absence of a driver, I cannot find a Solaris driver for this
card at the LSILogic site(card manufacturer).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

The D1000 is most likely High Voltage Differential (HVD) while the LSI board
seems to be standard single ended. HVD is incompatible to all other types of
SCSI, so you might end up with a damaged scsi board!
Get a SCSI board with HVD interface (e.g. LSI8751 _D_ (for Differential) not
_SPE_ (single ended).
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
