Hi managers
We bought a Transtec 5012 IDE/SCSI raid with 12x160GB Maxtor harddrives (It
should be the same unit as the Zero-D X-3i - just rebranded by Transtec). The
unit is configured as a raid 5 with 1 spare disk. The unit works fine when
connected to either a Windows box or a Linux box. However, when I connect it
to a Sun Enterprise 220R I run into trouble.
I can see the drive when I use the probe-scsi command in the bootprom. I can
also see the drive after a drvconfig and then format. But when I select the
drive in format it cannot autoconfigure it. I get the following output.
I run format with -e flag. It doesn't matter what I specify as the way it
should autoconfigure, I get the same error all the time.
Does anyone have a good solution?
Thanks,
Niclas
