Event ID 9 / 24683

[Arild Skuggerud]

Hello!

Server : ProLiant DL380 G3
Controller : Embedded Smart Array 5i
OS : Windows 2003 / SP1
Firmware : Firmware Maintenance CD 7.40
Drivers : ProLiant Support Pack for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 7.40A

After upgrading to the above mentioned firmware/drivers I keep getting these
messages in my eventlog:
Event ID: 9 - The device, \Device\Scsi\cpqcissm1, did not respond
within the timeout period.
Event ID: 24683 - SCSI bus fault occurred on Storage Box box 0, , Port 1 of Array
Controller [Embedded].
This may result in a "downshift" in transfer rate for one or more hard drives on the bus.

Since the messages came after the upgrade it
is probably software-related, and I have
seen this mentioned in the forum with earlier
versions of firmware/drivers, but I thought
this was sorted out with the latest software.

Any ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem, except on the Embedded Smart Array 6i. Would this issue degrade the transfer rate to/from this array?

Did you connect a tapedrive to your smart array controller?
