Have you applied the Sept 2001 patch bundle?

Yes I have, it has something to do with SCSI problems. A device that didn't respond fast enough or so. This causes the SCSI-bus to reset.
There is a big chance that the OS recovers from this type of problem by retransmitting tge SCSI request after the reset. No harm done, but if it returns, you could have a SCSI problem. (check patches).

Hi Mike,

lbolt error messages are never a good sign. Seems like there is time to replace a disk of yours. Have a look at the thread below,

Hope this helps.

Hi , you can figure out which device this is by
device ->cd0d3000

cd -> major -> cd is 205 in decimal
0d ->bus number -> 13 decimal is the card number
3 -> target
0 -> lun
00 -> flags

So this device has major number 205 and path c13t3d0. THis is not a disk device since disks have major 31. To see what device it is : do
find /dev |grep 31
find /dev |grep c13t3d0

Then take it from there to see what the potential problem could be with that scsi device, bus etc.

If everything seems ok and the message keeps repeating consistently, then you may need a
PATCH ;-)

Hi,
As mentioned above - SCSI bus problems - recomended to install latest SCSI patches.

Mike-

I have seen this error (too often for my taste). I always see it during backups, when there is a hiccup between the tape and our RAID drive. In my case, it has to do with the RAID controller, which suck, but that's another conversation... Anyway, try to locate when it happens (if often) and what ir running. If it is always during backup, for example, check the tape drive, the tape, the SCSI bus, and the hard drive (RAID, etc). Also, be sure everything is up to date with patches, firmware, etc. Make sure you've checked everything, becuase it could be something serious. Good luck.
