Ultrium 2/20 and Solaris 8 SCSI problems

[Nicklas Hardman]

I have a SureStore 2/20 with two ultrium drives and LVDS SCSI interfaces connected to an SUN E220R.
I am having big problems with communication between server and controller card. Anyone have any idea what the best card to use is? I've tried Sun's PCI Dual Ultra3 SCSI but the server doesn't even boot with that one connected to controller card.
Thanks

Nicklas,
I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work. When you say the system won't boot, do you mean with the card in the PCI bus, or only when the library is connected to the card? Also, do you get any errors when it boots? Can you do a PROBE-SCSI-ALL at the OBP and see the devices?

Barry,
The system hangs when the library is connected to the card and switched on. A probe-scsi-all works fine and reports the units correctly. Last lines I get before it hangs with a boot -rv is:

And after this machine totally "frozen"
