I have to hook up a D1000 to an E420R just installed Solaris 10 - 10/09 w/ Patches on it. Hooked up the D1000 through a SCSI differential PCI card
on the E420R:

/pci@1f,2000/scsi@1,1 (glm3):
Rev. 5 Symbios 53c876 found.
PCI-device: scsi@1,1, glm3 <<<-- I think this is the card.

Anways I don't see any drives off the D1000. I have switched sides and moved all the drives swappd out
SCSI cables etc....

Any and all advice would be apprecaited!

Thanks,
Tom Bishop

 

 

375-0006, right?

there is a differential terminator, you have that? and you have the short cable, connecting the two parts of the D1000? there are jumpers on the card itself, you would need to find the pdf for the card to see...

I think if only one of the power supplies were working, you should seesome of the drives.

maybe take the power supplies out and put them back in?

your sure that it isn't a D1000 with an A1000 controller in it? the D1000 doesn't have a battery.. both types take an interchangeable controller board where the scsi cables plug in...

good luck, keep trying and let us know what happens!

EDIT...
how are you trying to "see" the drives? probe-scsi-all? the format command? do the drives have a Sun volname?

I am using a StorageTek D1000 with a Differential SCSI card (375-0006) X6541A and I have done a
probe-scsi-all and boot -r and devfsadm -Cv etc. etc. etc. There are no drives seen by the E420R.
I have swapped sides on the D1000 to use the other controller, I have reseated all the cards on
the D1000, power supplies, controller board etc I get no errors I just don't see anything???

I have upgraded the OBP on the E420 to 3.31 which is the latest.

I'm out of ideas so I have switched to one of those old 6 drive Sun boxes but if you
have any ideas I would still like to use the D1000 for storage if possible.

thanks,
Tom

 

 

I asked if you are using a terminator on the D1000...

I don't know of any other fixes...

good luck!

I have used a terminator and not used a terminator (active terminator)....

Do you know which it should be??

Hello Tom,

I have used a terminator and not used a terminator (active terminator)....

if you're using the D1000 in the split-bus configuration (2x6 disks), two terminators are required. If it's single bus (all 12 disks) only 1 terminator and the "External SCSI Jumper Cable, HD68 to HD68, 20cm" (Part# 530-1883) is required. Just review the documentation for the D1000.

You can only use differential SCSI terminators (e.g. Sun Part# 150-1890). A single-ended SCSI terminator doesn't work !
