Hi all,

So, a couple of months ago, I posted about a backup job for a 600 gig information store taking 80 hours using BE over a gigabit ethernet to a tape library. I still have issues.

It looks like when the mail server (exchange 2003 on dl360 with msa30 attached via scsi) is booted it logs a warning "SCSI bus fault occurred on Storage Box box 0, , Port 0 of Array Controller in slot 2. This may result in a "downshift" in transfer rate for one or more hard drives on the bus."

The array controller in slot 2 is a 6400.  All the drives are ultra320 10k.

It then logs a couple of errors that state "The device, \Device\Scsi\cpqcissm2, did not respond within the timeout period."

Couple of things I have noticed: The MSA does not have a terminator on the B scsi connection. Anyone know if these are self terminating and I don't need one?

Also, it looks like the EMU for the array was never connected to a switch. I thought I'd connect it and see what information it would give me. The EMU is seated, but doesn't seem active at all. no light and no activity when i attach it to a switch. seems dead. If this EMU failed, could that cause the array to downshift?

Any other ideas for what I should be looking for to troubleshoot this?

Thanks.

Bill
