12 pk Multi-Pack

2007-12-25 9:12:00

Original:

I have a 12 pack Multi-Pack using a wide SCSI controller attached to a

Sparc

20 running Solaris 2.5. When I run "scsi_probe_all" from the boot

prompt, I

do not see the drives, only see the controller. I only have two drives

presently in the Multi-Pack. I have placed them in different locations

within the pack but it seems to make no difference. This Multi_pack is

supposed to be self-terminating. Does anyone know why I cannot see the

drives? I've also booted with "-r" and also run "drvconfig" followed by

"disks" - no go.

The answer is :

I had the wrong Wide SCSI controller for a 12 pack. I was using a DWIS

Wide

SCSI when I should have been using a SWIS Wide Controller. The manual

does

not indicate which one to get - Just "Wide SCSI controller". I really

got

the answer from Sun Support.
