SunManagers,
My manager wants A1000 disk arrays connected to various Sun machine.
They purchased the A1000s used (that is, on the used market). The
A1000/D1000 user guide says that the A1000 uses a differential SCSI
host adapter (controller card). The Sun System Engineer handbook give
a 375-0006 as the SCSI adapter to use with the A1000. The SCSI host
adapter that was purchased with these A1000s is a 375-0005. The SE
handbook says that this is an Ultra/Wide Singled Ended SCSI host
adapter. (The controller card has a "regular" SCSI symbol on it and
the letters "SE".)
After installing the 375-0005 in the machine and rebooting (boot -r),
it appears that the SCSI host adapter is seen but format does not see
any of the disks in the A1000. RaidManager 6.2.2 was installed and it
does not see the A1000.
While there are still diagnostic steps to take ("ok probe-scsi-all",
trying another A1000s, trying another 375-0005, etc.), I wanted to see
if anyone is using the SCSI Host Adapter 375-0005 with the A1000.
(That is, will this Single Ended controller card work with the A1000.)
Any help and advice will be greatly appreciate and a summary will be
sent after the solution is found.
Thank you!
HM
