All,
Maybe you could help me with this real annoying problem. I have a DEC
Server 3305 that I had Tru64 v5.1B on, but got moved over to Linux for a
while in order to do software RAID-1. I recently got a KZPAC-AA RAID
controller, so I was hoping to go back to Tru64.
I put the KZPAC in and swung the cable from the SCA drivers from the
internal ISP1020 to the KZPAC. Booted the machine up, and SRM reported the
card:
bus 0, slot 12 -- dra -- Mylex DAC960
Went to ARC ran the upgrade program to upgrade the firmware on the card to
2.70. We back to ARC again and ran RA200SRL.EXE. The two HD's attached are
50GB Seagate SCA-2's. Since the controller will only support up to 32GB
logical drives, I made two RAID-1 logical drives, one 30GB, the other around
15-16GB. Once that was done I initialized them and rebooted back to SRM.
Show devices show the logical drives:
>>>show dev
dka400.4.0.5.0 DKA400 RRD46 1337
dra0.0.0.12.0 DRA0 2 Member RAID 1
dra1.0.0.12.0 DRA1 2 Member RAID 1
dva0.0.0.1000.0 DVA0
ewa0.0.0.11.0 EWA0 00-00-F8-09-34-E0
pka0.7.0.5.0 PKA0 SCSI Bus ID 7 5.57
So I boot the Tru64 v5.1B install off of CD (using "boot dka400 -fl A").
During bootup I see a few errors that look related:
Initializing xcr0. Please wait....

This system appears to have no disks. The installation procedure
requires at least one disk. If there is a disk in the system, you
should confirm that it is properly connected, and then start the
installation procedure again from the ">>>" prompt. If you have
already done this, contact a customer service representative.
(Sorry for the long spam!)
hwmgr -view devices shows:

So it sees the RAID controller, but not the disks.
The install also complains that my SRM firmware is 5.8-16 and to upgrade,
but that's the newest for the DS 3305 :).
Anybody have any clue why Tru64 won't see the disks, and yet
SRM/ARC/RA200SRL.EXE do? I have a copy of Tru64 v5.1A also, but I haven't
tried that yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a bad feeling maybe it's due
to the old SRM firmware that the 3305 uses?
