Thanks, David. I'd heard that "bulk tape erasers" work, but I didn't think of trying a hand-held magnet would do the trick. I presume that you do something like making several quick manual passes over the tape? Sweep it back and forth in a few different directions? Thanks. (PS, I'd still like the implement the commands for the drive to do it, if anyone knows them.) -- John Lind john@starfire.MN.ORG To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-scsi Sun Aug 13 11:34:49 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Received: from salmon.maths.tcd.ie (salmon.maths.tcd.ie [134.226.81.11]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id ACA9437C21B for ; Sun, 13 Aug 2000 11:34:42 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dwmalone@maths.tcd.ie) Received: from walton.maths.tcd.ie by salmon.maths.tcd.ie with SMTP id ; 13 Aug 2000 19:34:40 +0100 (BST) To: john@dexter.starfire.mn.org Cc: freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Exabyte vendor-specific commands?

It wasn't very scientific - I think I just remember waving a strongish magnet over the large face of the tape. It did seem to work reasonably well though. David.

If you mean that this was not the value initially configured in the NVRAM, then the following my have happen: You must have in mind that Domain Validation is part of the Ultra-160 SCSI specifications and that the BIOS delivered with the DC390U3* does perform some integrity checking and therefore may decide to lower the data rate of a device until no error is encountered. I heared that the data rate is divided by two each time an integrity problem is detected. Once Integrity Checking is done, the NVRAM may well get updated with the resulted assumed *best* data rate for each device. You may check if the device data rate in the NVRAM has been modified by BIOS and let me know. The driver has no reason not to trust the NVRAM since it reflects some good compromise between user's wishes and actual hardware capabilities, at least as long as we haven't Domain Validation/Integrity Checking available from the kernel (CAM + SIMs). > I'll test it tomorrow with a U160 disk.

You mean you get SCSI errors sometimes without panics directly after? Are you still using the sym controller or is that behavour with the ahc card you mentioned? -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de Yes that is corect. I get the SCSI errors without the panics directly after. This actually where the activity on the box gets strange. Some times it will repeat the SCSI BUS RESET DETECTED error over and over on the console. If I log in from a remote session (telnet or ssh) it will print the header and login prompt but when I try to login the console starts to try to reboot. I get the "syncing disks..." printed over and over until I hard reboot. The other scenario is I get the SCSI BUS RESET DETECTED error once and I am able to establish a remote connection to the box and everything seems fine except for a zombie "find" process, which urks the heck out of me so I reboot the box. In either scenario the console session gets hung and you are unable to switch vtys or use the keyboard. I will get the exact messages for you tommorow if everything goes well. I have had a newly installed FreeBSD proxy that has been acting up and the resort we installed it in is having a conference this week. The only thing that has comforted the Execs at the resort has been my pager.

There is no support for the 29160 in the 3.x series of releases. Note that in 4.0 and 4.1, devices attached to Adaptec Ultra160 adapters are limited to 80MB/sec. Support for Ultra160 operation with those chips is in FreeBSD-current, but has not yet been merged into -stable.

I had ST39204LWs, that needed to be upgraded from firmware rev2 to firmware rev6, and have worked fine since. I also had some ST173404LWs that were at firmware rev2, and took those up to rev4 while I was at it. Seagate finally got the info to me after a couple of phone calls and some email, the only real hassle is their program to upgrade the firmware only runs under Windows (95/98/NT), but not under W2K.

I have an Intel DK440LX board, which has a dual bussed 7895 on it. I added an adaptec 29160, so the 29160 came up as ahc2 (the dual bussed 7895 being ahc0 and ahc1). Fright was when I accidentally set the 29160 up to use it's bios (like the 7895 was). Suddenly, no scsi drive would boot. An hour later (after testing every cable connection and losing some hair I couldn't really afford to lose) I set the bios setting on the 29160 off, and I could boot again. Can anyone explain in a bit of detail just what I did wrong, or why it was so wrong? I want, ultimately, to have a drive hung off the 29160 to boot (and there will be 2 drives on the 29160) so I have to understand what I'm doing a bit better, in getting ahc0-2 to compatibly coexist.

Uhm, what are you using to do backup's with? That might be a good first step... I *think* BRU will handle this just fine though, but not sure. We switched to DLT before this became a problem, so it wasn't something I was ever faced with. Check out BRU though, it's worked great for us, and I'm pretty sure it can handle this for you.

This particular tape drive seems to be configured to not have EARLY WARNING enabled. This means that when it's near EOT, instead of stopping short of physical end of media, it wait's until it's *really* at the end- and closing filemarks can't b ewritten. I suppose that the sa driver should configure this- but see if there are some jumper settings about this, and maybe somebody else on this list could gen up a camcontrol command string that you could try on the drive to get EEW turned on. In the interim, rather than using the 'a' argument, you *can* generate an estimated amount, call it 3GB and just fake a density and a tape length so that dump(8) will stop before it crosss the 3GB mark. -matt > Dear Mattthew, thank you for your patience. > If you meant /var/log/messages there is a lot of this: > > Aug 14 20:08:55 sol /kernel: (sa0:tekram_trm0:0:3:0): failed to write > terminating filemark(s) > Aug 14 20:08:56 sol /kernel: (sa0:tekram_trm0:0:3:0): tape is now frozen- > use an OFFLINE, REWIND or MTEOM command to clear this state > > I have a HP Surestore 24i and a Tekram DC-315U, > > Sam > Free Print Shop > Website: http://freeprintshop.org > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Matthew Jacob [mailto:mjacob@feral.com] > Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2000 5:34 PM > To: freep > Cc: freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: RE: one file system two tapes > > > > > On Tue, 15 Aug 2000, Matthew Jacob wrote: > > > > > Okay.

(Well, actually, if I'm very patient, I'll see a bunch of timeout messages after about 5 minutes. Then /stand/sysinstall tells me I have no disks.) The drives are Compaq-labeled Seagate 4.3GB Baracudas (ST15150) ultra wide single-ended. The array bears the number 6528 on the back and I have a hunch it's a storage add-on for the Proliant 6500 server. It was built in late 1995. I can't find any docs on this beast. I assume it's internally terminated since there's only one SCSI connector. (Can anybody confirm this?) The controller is the on-board Adaptec chip on an ASUS P2B-S mainboard. The SCSI BIOS can see all the drives. It can format and verify the drives just fine. This leads me to believe that the drives and the array are fine. I've tried to boot other operating systems on this setup and they also hang while searching for SCSI drives. This leads me to believe it's not just a FreeBSD thing. If I unplug the array and plug in other SCSI drives, the controller can see them using the same cables. This leads me to believe that the controller and cabling are fine. So I'm left to conclude that there's something incompatible between the controller and the drive array that cuts across operating systems. Could the cabling/termination be good enough for a format/verify from the SCSI BIOS to succeed but an OS drive detection attempt to fail? Seems like a longshot. All thoughts appreciated since I'm stumped.
