mraidnt.sys

[Frank Bean]

I have a netserver LX Pro running nt 4 w/ sp6. Occasionally, there is an entry in the system log showing an error 9 on the netraid's scsi port. Checking MS' website shows that to be one of those 'could be nothing, might be something, here's a dozen or more things to check' type of error messages.
Anyone have anything more concrete to look for?

I guess I should be more descriptive of the error.

Event ID: 9
Source: mraidnt.sys
Description: The device, \devicescsiport2, did not respond within the timeout period.

Things to check:
1) NetRAID card MUST HAVE lastest firmware A.04.03.
2) NetRAID must be on PCI slot 4 or 5 or 6
3) lastest mraidnt.sys is 2.24.
4) firmware version of the disks should be checked also.
5) verify the the SCSI cable from NetRAID to the disks is fine

If you already checked those things it could be a disk which has problems (but in that case you find also logs in Event Viewer) or the NetRAID card could be bad.

Questions:
are you using internal or external disks ? which is you disk subsystem configuration ?
