Tru64 V4.0F Cannot continue to boot

[SCSI Error]

Hi,

I just attached a DLT Tape drive to my ES40 Server running on Tru64.

I found this error in looop during boot-up and cannot go directly to command prompt.

cam_logger: cam_error packet
bus 0 target 0 lun 0

ss_perform_timeout
Reached max abort count, scheduled bus reset

hi,

its probably conflicting Scsi id address. Check if the scsi adapter is used by the disk backplanes (BA610). If it is, then switch to other scsi adapter.

If my memory serves correctly for kzpsas and others scsi adapters, its not supported to attach additional external device to a scsi adapter which already used by internal diskplanes.

Let us know the outcome.

How, SuperGlue? It might help if you
described what all is on this SCSI bus,
including the SCSI ID values of everything,
a description of the cable configuration, and
of the bus termination.

By the time you collect all the information
someone else would need to diagnose your
problem, it may already be obvious to you
what's wrong.

It was on a SCSI bus, right? Or should we
infer this from the "Author: SCSI Error"?

Hi,

I changed scsi ID of the tape drive and here's what i got.. still same error "Active CCB at time of error"

with the setup above.. if I disconnect the tape drive from the Scsi adapter it works fine.

That may be the least important part of the
error message(s)

> cam_logger: bus 0 target 0 lun 0

I know nothing, but that looks to me like
dka0. If you disconnect the tape drive and
everything works again, then I'd guess bad
cable (including too-long cable), or bad
termination.

As I recall, for a KZPBA-CA/CX (Qlogic) card,
you get only 1.5m of cable, total, so it's
very tough to use one card for both internal
and external devices, and still stay within
that limit. It may be time to add pkc0.

Thanks all and specially to Steven
