Managers,
Sorry for the delayed summary, but I was on a well deserved vacation,
after a 16 and a half hour day.
I'm also a little sorry for bothering you all with this problem. An
HP/Compaq kernel specialist found these little gems in my messages file:
Jun 27 23:27:25 d0olb vmunix: itpsa0 at pci1 slot 5
Jun 27 23:27:25 d0olb vmunix: Checksum read error.
Jun 27 23:27:25 d0olb vmunix: *** Attempt to run on unsupported adapter
***
Jun 27 23:27:25 d0olb vmunix: CAM Subsystem: probe failed
Jun 27 23:27:25 d0olb vmunix: hba_dme_attach: (6/n/n) - hba 'itpsa' attach
failed.
Jun 27 23:27:25 d0olb vmunix: cam_logger: SCSI event packet
Jun 27 23:27:25 d0olb vmunix: cam_logger: bus 6
Jun 27 23:27:25 d0olb vmunix: ccfg_simattach()
Jun 27 23:27:25 d0olb vmunix: SIM Attach Failed, sim_init() reported
FAILURE - Retry.
Jun 27 23:27:25 d0olb vmunix: itpsa_attach_instance: Failure status returned
from xpt_bus_register()
Jun 27 23:27:25 d0olb vmunix: itpsa_confl1: itpsa0 attach failed
From these messages he termined that the new LVD adapter I'd just
installed, was bad. I've contacted the vendor, who has sent a replacement.
Let's hope this one works... Anyway, thanks for all the help from all those
who responded. My original question and the update is included below.
