Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2 new SUN FIRE V440 at the University, i called SUN and it`s a known problem at SUN for these disks in these kind of machines. You have to installed these patches or firmware to fix these errors. It`s work for me. 115662-01 Hardware/Firmware: LSI1030 U320 SCSI controller 116369-01 Hardware 36GB SCSI Disk Drive Patch : Download program and SCSI Disk Drive firmware 115274-03 SunOS 5.8: /usr/sbin/raidctl patch 115275-02 SunOS 5.8: mpt driver patch 108974-37 SunOS 5.8: dada, uata, dad, sd, ssd and scsi drivers patch 115846-02 Hardware/PROM: Sun Fire V440 Flash PROM Update After you have installed all that and reboot your machine, run iostat -En and you should see Revision : PQ0B for the disk HITACHI and you should have 0 for Hard Errors: Hope this help, good luck and have a nice day, Best regards, Benoit Bilair Analyste en informatique (System Analyst) Universiti du Quibec ` Montrial Sitel Services Techniques DS-6139 courriel : belair.benoit@uqam.ca 9. Sun Fire V440 disk read/write errors (Iain Drummond) Message: 9 Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 10:21:15 -0500 From: Iain Drummond <idrummon@receptor.mgh.harvard.edu> Subject: Sun Fire V440 disk read/write errors To: <sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org> Message-ID: <BC4FB29B.5111%idrummon@receptor.mgh.harvard.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" My new Sun Fire V440 is showing unusually unstable behavior. I have been setting it up and compiling a fair amount of opensource software and then periodically running fsck to make sure all is well. each time fsck is run there are alot of file system errors; more than I have ever experienced on my Ultra5. The last time I ran fsck, several directories of recently installed software were deleted; I presume errors were found in their filesystems and fsck removed them. I have looked at the messages file in /var/adm and find that the disks are showing read/write errors. I need to decide 1) if these are serious, 2) if i need to rebuild from scratch after disk reformatting, and 3) if the disks are faulty and (while under warranty) need to be replaced. I am also curious to know if local environmental factors can cause disk instability like this. The V440 is temporarily on a shelf with a sun monitor sitting on top of it and a power cord sitting next to it. Bad idea? these are examples of the worrisome disk errors. i surmise from the serial numbers that all 4 of the internal 36 GB disks are showing errors. I find it hard to believe that Sun would ship 4 faulty disks. thanks for any help -------------------------------------------------------------------------- scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@1,0 (sd2): Error for Command: write Error Level: Retryable scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Requested Block: 16 Error Block: 16 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Vendor: HITACHI Serial Number: 0350S1N8L0 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Sense Key: Unit Attention scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] ASC: 0x29 (<vendor unique code 0x29>), ASCQ: 0x3, FRU: 0x0 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@3,0 (sd4): Error for Command: write Error Level: Retryable scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Requested Block: 1472 Error Block: 1472 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Vendor: HITACHI Serial Number: 0350S1NRB6 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Sense Key: Unit Attention e code 0x29>), ASCQ: 0x3, FRU: 0x0107833 kern.notice] ASC: 0x29 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@2,0 (sd3): Error for Command: write Error Level: Retryable scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Requested Block: 1472 Error Block: 1472 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Vendor: HITACHI Serial Number: 0350S1MYYK scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Sense Key: Unit Attention scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] ASC: 0x29 (<vendor unique code 0x29>), ASCQ: 0x3, FRU: 0x0 -- Iain Drummond, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Renal Unit, Massachusetts General Hospital idrummond@partners.org idrummon@receptor.mgh.harvard.edu Lab Home Page: http://danio.mgh.harvard.edu ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers End of sunmanagers Digest, Vol 11, Issue 26 ******************************************* _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Feb 11 12:48:16 2004
