RE: 51D's & external hard disks

[Warren Brown]

Hello

Aaah just as I suspected.  You have remnants of disk mirroring
left over when you installed on the external disk drive.  I am
going to guess that the Mirroring database for the external 4 GB
drive 'knows' that it is the first disk controller  (i.e. c0t0d0)
when in fact it is on the second controller (c1t0d0) and the internal
IDE drive is on the first controller.

There are two options here - both of which are not supported by
Foxboro / Invensys.  If you want to go down that path then we
best take this discussion off the list.

I don't recall if you said why you are trying to do this ?  The
51D family was supposed to use the internal drive.  The marketing
thinking was that if you wanted features associated with external
SCSI drives then you would select the 51E family.

RE: 51D's & external hard disks

[Nic Glenister]

Hi Warren,

Thanks for your response.  The release Day Zeroed onto the external hard
drive is V6.2 - attempted both with and without the Pre-Install Diskette to
the same end.

The panic message (after boot kabd command) is as follows:

Cannot mount root on /pseudo/md@0:0,0,blk fstype ufs
panic[cpu0]/thread=0x10402040: vfs_mountroot: cannot mount root
stopped at  E_Syslimit+0x84:ta  %icc,%go + 125

Feel free to decipher this at will.

Cheers,

Nic

RE: 51D's & external hard disks

[Deen, Ron]

To my knowledge, the D box only supports RAID solutions as an external SCSI
drive configuration.
The System Administration Guide (B0193ND, Rev J) makes note of the external
SCSI drives will be supported in future releases. Since the guide was
provided with the 6.3 base level software it is probably not supported until
now.

We tried your setup in the lab today with similar results: boot starts ok
but after a short while "panic and reboot". There is a way to get it working
but that is not supported. Configuration will be lost with new installs.
The B0400PT document is ...ahum... a bit confusing (?)

G'day list,

Has anyone had any success in using 51D's with 4.2Gb external SCSI system
disks?  Rumour has it, it's supposed to be possible - according to B0400PT
anyway.

I've Day Zeroed it, but I can't get it to boot.  And yes, I have changed the
"altdisk" (originally "raid") device label.  It starts going through the
boot process from the external hard disk, but continually panic dumps.

Cheers,

Nic

Re: 51D's & external hard disks

[Warren Brown]

Hello Nic

You don't say which release you day 0'd onto the drive.  What was
the panic message ?  Was it bad root or could not mount root ?
Did you check /etc/system for rootdev etc. ?

If the system reboots too fast to see the message, at the OK
prompt type boot kadb and it will the system at the kadb level
after the panic message so you can see what was printed.
