MSL5060 library "HTH Error"... current trace attached

[Denver Osborn]

I've got an MSL5060 library with an entry in the event log that I don't understand yet. If you have any experience w/ the msl5060 errors and decoding the trace log, please help me out.

The event log contains:

20. 02/04/2007 13:54:44 30d00h39m51.06s SCSI port 1 invalid DSA
21. 02/04/2007 13:54:44 30d00h39m51.06s SCSI HTH Error. Port 1 Target -286331154, S_ID 0xEEEEEEEE, CDB[0] 0xEEEEEEEE, Device Type -286331154
22. 02/04/2007 13:54:44 30d00h39m51.06s SCSI port 1 bus reset

The current trace is attached.

Thanks in advance!

The traces show communication on the FC, there are some communication between the NSR and the Switch taking place.

The error you indicate in the post is an error on the SCSI bus, and shoud appear in the event log, not in the trace, because usualy the traces record only the last few second.

anyway, the error HTH is a harware layer error. usualy communication error due to bad cable, or bad terminator. this error is reinforced by the other error invalid DSA.

I suggest you to check for any damaged compent on the scsi chain connected to SCSI port 1 of your NSR, including terminator, cables, drive, and NSR. bent pins, or damaged cables, or bad cabling are the usual cause of these errors

Thanks! Checked cables and terminators... made minor changes and haven't had any problems.
