(brief) Bus Device Reset Message

2007-12-25 9:27:00

Greetings,

Thanks to those who replied.

>From the terse: "call sun and replace the disk"

to the helpful: probe-scsi? yes device is seen

                  : spinning up? yes it appears to

                  : this error seen on an E250; apparently this 12 pack is

not fully supported on a E250

No one commented on the possibility of a corrupt device file.

Conclusion:

As the 12 pack is behaving strangely now (drive indicator lights coming on

before the drive spins up) I am replacing the backplane, power supply and

the suspect disk.
