48029   New disk board installed in a Sun Enterprise[TM] Server E4500/E5500/E6500 is not detected or recognized with probe-scsi-all   18 Oct 2002

Status Issued

Description

Unable to access or see the Enterprise Server 4500/5500/6500 internal disks that are resident on the disk board with probe-scsi-all, usually upon board installation or after a server is relocated or reconfigured.

SOLUTION SUMMARY:

This is most often because the external scsi cable that is required to connect the I/O board onboard scsi port to the disk board has not been installed by the end user.

Another common reason is that a Differential terminator has been installed on the disk board in error and the disk board is then not terminated properly.

The terminator provided with each IO board (HD68, Single Ended, Fast Wide terminator, part number 150-2267) must be used to terminate the disk board.
