Digital Unix 5.0 issues SCSI errors i am not sure what they are

[whiteSox]

what log files will tell me what is going on ..what log files should i be looking for the server came back up ...and i am trying to understand what is going on ....Thanks for your help ..

Check the error log.

DecEvent is used for error log translation for AS2000 systems. If it isn't installed then uerf may give you an idea of what is going on.

# man dia

-or-

# man uerf

Since both scsi id 0 and 2 are the ones logging events, and they are the only WIDE devices on the bus. Logic would indicate investigate those devices first.

"psiop_hardintrptidec5..." > Controller Hard interrupt

Depending upon controller, controller firmware and disk drive firmware, these wide devices may not play well on a narrow scsi chain. In addition, as stated earlier, the timeout could also be from anything on scsi bus 0.

If you're not comfortable troubleshooting/investigating this, place a call to your service provider.

cnb,

The server was running for about 4 to 5 years with the same configuration .Do you know what that error event means ..is there a problem with the mother board or the disk drives ?

[cnb]

Something in the disk subsystem. Disk 0 is still reporting *some* event. Not enough information here.

Read the guides and install DecEvent to get a more thorough description of what is going on.

FWIW: There's a lot more to this system than a "Motherboard" and disks. System Module, CPU modules, Memory modules, Bridge, I/O, etc...

Does any one know if this OS is supported by HP ?.

Hi,

5.0 hasn't been supported for a long time:

You might want to post the output of "sizer -v" so we can see exactly what version you're running...

Cheers,

Rob
