Hi managers,
I am experiencing a failure on a system running an application that
massages data and appends to a file. The file size has the potential
to grow to 4GB.
After several days of processing, the host system loses sight of the
raid disks with the following error.

Loop reconfigure in progress
Unable to allocate target structure for switch setting 4
reason: Target does not have a hard address
Loop reconfigure done
transport rejected (-2)
If you cd onto the disks :
Read error on the disks
% mkdir aaa
mkdir: Failed to make directory "aaa"; I/O error
On the raid, if I run verify on the disks , it runs successfully ...this
determines that the controller
can still talk to the disks but the hostem cannot .
Has anybody experience this problem before?
I have all the latest fibre patches on the host system.
System Configuration on the 420R:
sun4u Sun Enterprise 420R (2 X UltraSPARC-II 450MHz)
System clock frequency: 113 MHz
Memory size: 2304 Megabytes
Host Bus Adapter on the 420R:
SUN StorEdge PCI FC-100 Host Adapter ( QLogic QLA2100F)
On the Raid,
Open Storage Solutions OmegaFX2 (Chaparral K7313 K410 (e037),
baselevel K410R03)
with disk capacity 51GB.
The Raid is connected via a MIA adapter (MIA-1000 1.25 Gb/s DB9 to SC)
Copper to Optical
For externally converting a copper I/O to Fiber Optic.
