[Wojtek Francikowski]

I habve the folowing symptoms constantly logges to the syslog:

I can login only as root, any other logins are not recoginized. Apllication and oracle databases can not be started.
Any idea what may be wrong or how to fix that?

The SCSI lbolt errors may be caused by bad SCSI connections, check SCSI termination. And you may increase the problem device timeout and see whether occur again.

[Saurav_1]

Check the Event Monitor Notification using "elm" for SCSI errors and "set_fixed -L " for devices which are down.

To find out the device:
# ioscan -fnkC ext_bus

instance 0 is the hardware path of the SCSI controller reporting the errors. try to find out what devices are attached to this SCSI controller.

As I mentioned, i suggest increasing timeout if you find out the device, example as follows:
# pvchange -t 300 /dev/dsk/c1t15d0

Hi,
Have you got mirrored disks?
check if you have any stale lvols, it may be a disk failing somewhere connected to that controller.. check your hardware with cstm...


All the best

Hi,

judging by the symptoms you describe I would assume that one or more disks have crashed; your users' home dir probably reside on one. Try checking by:
# vgdisplay -v | grep stale
if anything appears, you have failed disks.

Try also this:
# ioscan -fnC disk
and check for NO_HW
