new SCSI disk not usable?

new SCSI disk not usable?

Post by Dan Swartzendrub » Thu, 09 Jul 1998 04:00:00



I have a 2.2.6-stable box with a dell disk array connected to a 2940.
The 6 ultrawide disks are ID 0 through 5.  There is a management unit
(which we don't use) as ID 6.  The adapter is 7.  We recently added 2
new drives.  The array automatically sets termination and SCSI ID, so
they got ID 8 and 9 (expected).  I configured the kernel like this:

device          da10 at scbus2 target 0
device          da11 at scbus2 target 1
device          da12 at scbus2 target 2
device          da13 at scbus2 target 3
device          da14 at scbus2 target 4
device          da15 at scbus2 target 5
device          da16 at scbus2 target 8
device          da17 at scbus2 target 9

(this is configured with the CAM patches, and had been working fine).

Here is what is printed on boot:

da16 at ahc2 bus 0 target 8 lun 0
da16: <WDIGTL WDE2170-1808A3 1.80> Fixed Direct Access SCSI2 device
da16: Serial Number WS7000315256
da16: 40.0MB/s transfers (20.0MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing
Enabled
da16: 2047MB (4194057 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 2047C)
da17 at ahc2 bus 0 target 9 lun 0
da17: <WDIGTL WDE2170-1808A3 1.80> Fixed Direct Access SCSI2 device
da17: Serial Number WS7000320639
da17: 40.0MB/s transfers (20.0MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing
Enabled
da17: 2047MB (4194057 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 2047C)

So, the kernel saw the new disks, and they seem to be configured
correctly.  However, when I try to access them, I get this:

# dd if=/dev/rda16s1c of=/dev/null
dd: /dev/rda16s1c: Device not configured

The same happens with da17.  Any ideas?

 
 
 

1. SCSI HD's not working with new CDU535 boot disk?

I have installed (on a 486SX with Adaptec 1542b SCSI card and a Sony
CDU535 CD) Linux ver 1.2.1 from the InfoMagic _LINUX Developers Resource_
CDs, using the Slackware distribution and everything works fine.

I just bought the book _Linux SECRETS_ which comes with a CD containing
Slackware Linux 3.0 (Linux 1.2.13). The boot disk I made from this CD has
a problem initializing the Adaptec controller, am I seeing things or did
something change in the scsi drivers???
