Low level diagnostics

I bought a new SCSI drive and when I try to add it to the system with SAM I get I-O errors. How do I test it for errors (bad sectors)and mark them so I can add the drive to the system with SAM??

Re: Low level diagnostics

#Try doing a

#diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/cXdXtX

check for the output.
YOu can test the disk using

# dd if=/dev/dsk/cXdXtX of=/dev/null bs=1024

which should tell you whether the disk is bad or not.

What are the I/O errors?
Can you post the error messages?


Thanks
