DL360 boot problem with PCI-X SCSI adapter

[Cam_13]

I have searched everywhere and cannot figure this out.

I installed 374654-B21 SCSI Host Adapter in a DL360 G4p. This will be used to connect an Ultrium 1/8 library.

Problem: SCSI drives attached to 6i are no longer recognized and server will not boot.
I cannot figure out where the conflict is. I understand the logic that the server thinks that there are drives on the PCI adapter.

Boot order for adapters is set to 6i first but it cannot see the drives at all.

I've searched HP up and down and read manuals for 6i,DL360 and 374654 and nothing says what to do to resolve conflict or set jumper....HELP!

Cam:

Can you enter the BIOS set up utility when the the 6i initializes during boot up? Check to see if you can see the drives there.

See if you can change the IRQ's the 2 cards are using, if at all in the RBSU.

Let us know.

You can try to pull card out see if that make difference, back to normal, or keep tape disconnected
reset SCSI backplane and make sure it seated correctly
Verify system Rom Update
Optional Card 64/133 should not cause problem â seeing drives

Press F8 during start up - for using ORCA utility. Check the status jf your array configuration here.

Well I guess that was something different, guy with an adaptec controller that would hang the POST

I would suggest switching the order of the cards to see if that makes a difference, because it does sound like it is defaulting to the SCSI BIOS and not the 6i BIOS for the Boot and then the boot location id is messed up.

Silly problem fixed after many gray hairs and pulling hair out.


I checked the backplane and it had unseated just a bit, almost unnoticable. Reseated and everything looks ok.
