SUMMARY : raid controler error???

hello true managers:

the problem was a mix

the configuration on the controller was an old one
that needed to be "overwritten" ( option -o of the
configuration utility) and also failed disks.

once the controller configuration was updated, the
drive initialize process failed because of dead
drives.
once the dead drives were replaced and the controllerr
configuration was the proper one, everything was ok,
as usual with these good boxes.

thanks for the useful and fast replies of:
jean philippe coulon
pat o'brien

andrew tolmie
george gallen
simon millard and
Dr. Thomas Blinn

thanks to all

original message:
i urgently need to recover an as2100 that fails at srm
level displaying
errors on the raid controller test. i already change
the xcr by
different ones the same model but the error remains.
any idea??

scenario: as2100 5/300, fw version 5.3, ecu 1.9, swxcr
raid controller
(kzpac-xf) , no operating system yet but 4.0D needed.

at booting time in srm level, the following msg is
displayed:

"waiting for dra.0.0.7.0 to poll ( 11 times)

Testing the disks (read only)

Read/Write failed with status 0002 on dra 0.0.7.0 Hard
error Error #5

Diag Name exer-kid ID 0000014b Pass 0 Test 0
Hard 1 Soft 0

Error in read of o bytes at location 00002A00 from
device dra.0.0.0.7.0

End of error

>>"

i tried installing 2 new controllers but the error is
the same. the
box "boot" the standalone configuration utility but
the actions ( ie
initialize drives) fail displaying "READ WRITE ERROR"

any help/idea will be appreciated. thanks in advance
