Hi, I don't think this is *quite* within the usual scope of this mailing list. But if it doesn't start working someone will get murdered at random; I assumed you guys might be up for preventing murder, at least.
I have a new PowerEdge 2970 which we purchased fitted with an LSI 2032 SCSI card with rear connector. This is connected to a Quantum LTO3 tape drive in a rack-mount jobbie, configured as SCSI ID 6. We have a conversion cable connecting the PE2970's VHDCI to the Quantum's LVD HD-68 connector. We have a terminator in the remaining HD-68 port on the Quantum. The problem we're having is that the SCSI card identified the Drive at ID 6 with a name of 'p...@jpph PHPRHPH 2', which doesn't sound right to me. The server is running CentOS 5.4 x86_64. The relevant dmesg output is as follows: Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.07rh Fusion MPT SPI Host driver 3.04.07rh mptbase: ioc0: Initiating bringup mptscsih: ioc0: attempting target reset! (sc=ffff81047f58ecc0) mptscsih: ioc0: target reset: SUCCESS (sc=ffff81047f58ecc0) mptbase: ioc0: LogInfo(0x110a0000): F/W: Device Problem mptscsih: ioc0: attempting bus reset! (sc=ffff81047f58ecc0) mptscsih: ioc0: bus reset: SUCCESS (sc=ffff81047f58ecc0) mptscsih: ioc0: attempting host reset! (sc=ffff81047f58ecc0) mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery mptscsih: ioc0: host reset: SUCCESS (sc=ffff81047f58ecc0) Fusion MPT misc device (ioctl) driver 3.04.07rh mptctl: Registered with Fusion MPT base driver mptctl: /dev/mptctl @ (major,minor=10,220) I take it the above output is not good? There is no 'st' device node which I would expect from a SCSI tape drive. What am I doing wrong?
