Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 1012309.1 : Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI array: Resolving SCSI bus resets & transport errors with Ultra320 HBA
PreviouslyPublishedAs 216984 Description This document will show you how to identify and resolve SCSI bus resets and transfer rate problems on systems connected to a Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI array or JBOD via an Ultra320 HBA.
These messages could further be followed by read/write errors such as: Jan 16 04:04:21 hostname scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@4/sd@0,5 (sd76): Jan 16 04:04:21 hostname Error for Command: write Error Level: Retryable Jan 16 04:04:21 hostname scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Requested Block: 153264 Error Block: 153264 Jan 16 04:04:21 hostname scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Vendor: SUN Serial Number: 1ACACDB1-05 Jan 16 04:04:21 hostname scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Sense Key: Unit Attention Jan 16 04:04:21 hostname scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] ASC: 0x29 (power on, reset, or bus reset occurred), ASCQ: 0x0, FRU: 0x0 The above messages could be a result of: Speed negotiation between the Ultra320 HBA and the SE3310 array. You can check the speed to each SCSI target with: # prtpicl -v | egrep "NAME=|sync-speed" | grep -v spindle | NAME=ide-controller | | NAME=mpt0 | :target0-sync-speed 320000 :target8-sync-speed 320000 :target9-sync-speed 320000 :targeta-sync-speed 320000 :targetb-sync-speed 320000 | NAME=mpt1 | | NAME=glm0 | :target0-sync-speed 160000 :target1-sync-speed 160000 | NAME=glm1 | :target0-sync-speed 160000 :target8-sync-speed 160000 :target9-sync-speed 160000 :targeta-sync-speed 160000 :targetb-sync-speed 160000 In this example the onboard controller of a Sun Fire V240 Server (glm1) is accessing the disks in one SE3310 JBOD at 160MB/s, In such cases,the system may recover on its own, however performance will be degraded until then. disk not responding to selection Steps to Follow Solutions for Arrays, SCSI controllers and firmware
SCSI bus reset & transport errors on Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI array with Ultra320 HBA
To limit the HBA speed to 160MB/s, create the file /kernel/drv/mpt.conf with the following contents, then reboot the system.
