Enterprise 420R with A1000 problem

Question

Dear all
I'm getting the following error and i am able to "see" the system only from console.
Sep 29 12:54:28 cohealths1 unix: WARNING: vxvm:vxio: Subdisk rootdisk-03 block 110672: Uncorrectable write error
Sep 29 12:54:28 cohealths1 unix: WARNING: vxvm:vxio: Subdisk rootdisk-02 block 1039519: Uncorrectable write error
I went to "ok" prompt and i gave the "boot" command, but i got the following errors
{2} ok boot

It seems that the problem is on the two internal disks (the leds are green!!) .....
Can anybody help me ?

Answer 1

Hello,
probe the disks from the ok-prompt (either after reset or power-up)
setenv auto-boot? false
reset
probe-scsi
(if you use probe-scsi-all the external disks and the A1000 will be probed as well, which doesn't make sense at the moment).
If the internal disk are visible, boot into single-user mode from CD-ROM (Software 1 of Solaris 8/9, CD1 of Solaris 10) and invoke format to check the disks (-> analyze, non-destructive test).
boot cdrom -sv
Otherwise try if reseating the disks solves the problem.
Is the (internal) SCSI controller visible with show-devs ?
Running diagnostics might be a good idea.
setenv diag-switch? true
reset-all
