V. SCO UNIX DRIVERS

Troubleshooting

The following conditions should exist after a successful installation:

1. The directory etc/conf/sdevice.d should contain a file named bhba or slha, de-

pending on your SCO UNIX version. This file contains the sdevice entries.

2. The directory etc/conf/cf.d contains files sdevice, mdevice, and mscsi. Files

sdev.hdr and mdev.hdr describe the values of the possible field entries in the
files sdevice and mdevice, respectively.
a.

The sdevice file should contain a bhba or slha entry for each Symbios
Logic host adapter configured in the system.

b.

The second field in the sdevice file should read ‘Y’.

c.

A bhba or slha entry should appear in the mdevice file.

d.

A bhba or slha entry for each configured SCSI device should appear in the
mscsi file.

3. Directory etc/conf/pack.d/bhha or directory etc/conf/pack.d/slha should exist and

contain the files Driver.o and space.c.

The following are some problems and their suggested solutions:

AN INTERRUPT CONFLICT MESSAGE APPEARS

a

In the sdevice file, check the fifth field of the bhba or slha entry for a conflict
with that of any competing driver.

A SCSI DEVICE IS NOT FOUND

a

Reboot to observe the system configuration table when it appears.

b

Look for bhba or slha entries for each SCSI device connected to a Symbios
Logic host adapter.

c

Check to see that the desired value for each field exists.

UNIX SYSTEM BEHAVES UNRELIABLY AFTER A CONFIGURATION
CHANGE.

a

Whenever the hardware or software configuration is altered, you must rebuild
the kernel. Use the Relink UNIX option of the CAM3configuration tool, or
change to the directory /etc/conf/cf.d and type: ./link_unix
to rebuild the kernel.
