3.4 Troubleshooting
Some potential problems and their suggested solutions are:
During installation, no SCSI devices are found.
•
Ensure that all devices are powered on and terminated correctly.
•
Check that no devices have duplicate SCSI IDs.
•
Make sure INTA is assigned for the PCI slot(s) where your SCSI host
adapter(s) are installed.
•
Be sure that all devices appear properly in the display banner of the
SDMS SCSI BIOS at boot time.
Problems with Ultra SCSI devices using Ultra SCSI protocol.
If the system is configured with an LSI Logic host adapter that supports
Ultra SCSI, an Ultra SCSI device is on the SCSI bus, and Ultra SCSI
support by the
SYMC8XX.MPD , SYM_HI.MPD , or SYM_U3.MPD driver is
enabled, intermittent problems and possible system crashes can occur.
It may be that the SCSI bus cable and terminators do not conform to the
Ultra SCSI specification.
To resolve problems with Ultra SCSI devices, follow these steps:
Step 1. Disable Ultra SCSI support using the procedure described in
Section 3.5.1, “Enabling/Disabling Ultra SCSI Support,”
