I'm having what seems to be a SCSI conflict. When I boot and SEArch for bootable devices, the DVD drive with the install CD in it does not appear in the bootable path list. The other devices do, but not my DVD.
If I removed all other bootable devices, the DVD drive shows up and I can, indeed, boot from it. Wacky.
I've played around with the SCSI IDs a bit, but not had much luck. Is there something big I'm missing?
Devices:
* Tachyon FC card connected to VA7410 Vitual Array (turned off at the moment) directly; no FC switch.
* internal DVD drive
* internal DAT drive
* (2) internal LVD hard disks
* external LTO1 autoloader
Thanks in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: SCSI conflict (?) on "new" rp8400
a scsi conflict is unlikely, because the internal DVD drives are on a separate bus.
Try to use the hw-path directly:
>boot 0/0/0/2/1.2
(upper)
> boot 1/0/0/2/1.2
(lower)
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: SCSI conflict (?) on "new" rp8400
Is this rp8400 Npar'd up into more than one cell?
If so the DVD may be residing in a cell other than zero. If that's the case you'll need to either:
1) Move the SCSI cable into cell zero.
2) Wipe out the Npar info such that the entire system occupies cell zero.
HTH,
Jeff

Re: SCSI conflict (?) on "new" rp8400
If so, what's the quickest way to wipe out the partition info and get back to just one cell (with no plans to partition in the future)?
One note: there are two MP console cards installed in the machine. I'm using the uppermost one. I haven't tried the lower card yet.

Re: SCSI conflict (?) on "new" rp8400
At the CM prompt, type the command cp. This will show you your cells and their relationship to defined partitions.

Re: SCSI conflict (?) on "new" rp8400
Moving the DVD-ROM to the topmost of the two media slots worked: both devices are available for boot.
Thanks for the help!
