\Device\Scsi\cpqcissm1 in Windows 2003 once a day

[Megan Kielman]

All, I have event ID 9 with the following description logged at least once a day on a Windows 2003 SP1 RC2.

The device, \Device\Scsi\cpqcissm1, did not respond within the timeout period.

I have updated the SCSI firmware and driver. I have read other posts that indicate there is a bad drive, the BIOS needs to be updated, or the "Rescan Service" needs to be disabled. The BIOS is P51 10/10/2005. What is the reccomended approach? If there is a bad drive, how do I determine which is the bad drive?

hi

would you mind to tell us which is the source id?

also can you check the Integrated management log? any error there?

The source is CPQCISSM. I just looked in the IML and there are no events in it other than NIC Redundancy a POST error from a few months ago.

I forgot to ask you

which is the server?
and which Operating system?

[KarloChacon]

which smart array controller?

It 32bit and the controller is Smary Array 6i. Firmware 2.80B

We are getting the same errors on 2 out of 4 DL380G4 servers since updating to the v2.80a firmware last month. Subsequently updating to v2.80b did not help. We get POST errors stating there is a slot conflict for the last 2 drives even though they have not moved since the server was built over a year ago.

Concurrent with the errors in the system log are drastic lag spikes. These servers are Exchange 2003 servers loaded on Windows Server 2003 SP2, fully patched.

Not adding fuel to the fire just pointed out that the problem is not necessarily an isolated one.
