I upgraded the bios to build 15728 but still am having issues. What firmware build were you using before you tried 15728? I've done a lot of testing with 3405 / 3805 controllers and haven't managed to crash the controller. Most of my testing has been with firmware 12814, which is admittedly somewhat old. > there is also a large file called arcerror.txt, I wont include the whole > thing but the last line is: > > Sat 26Apr2008 (tz=0) > 08:10:21.697145000 arcconf: ArcPhysicalDeviceAttach.cpp: Line #: 745 > StorLib::getSystemConfig() > ArcSystem::buildChildren(Ret & retOUT) > ArcAdapter::buildChildren(Ret &retOUT) > > ArcPhysicalDeviceAttach::ArcPhysicalDeviceAttach( > Channel *pChannelIN, ...) > ArcPhysicalDeviceAttach::setFsaInfo() > > ArcPhysicalDeviceAttach::doScsiPassThru() > *** FSA API Error: > FsaSendScsiCommand > () fsaStatus=479 *** I've seen that as well and have asked Adaptec about it. They responded that those errors can be ignored -- they issue SCSI pass through commands to try to query something from the disk and that's failing. It just means that something might not be displayed for a device. - Ed From owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Apr 29 15:29:47 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9C8E41065674 for ; Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:29:47 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from tomw@kace.com) Received: from dhost002-46.dex002.intermedia.net (dhost002-46.dex002.intermedia.net [64.78.21.140]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 848498FC1D for ; Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:29:47 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from tomw@kace.com) Received: from MISD002-3.dex002.intermedia.net ([64.78.61.45]) by dhost002-46.dex002.intermedia.net with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.3959); Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:25:56 -0700 Received: from [192.168.0.8] ([64.72.183.165]) by MISD002-3.dex002.intermedia.net over TLS secured channel with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.3959); Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:25:55 -0700 Message-ID: <48173EF3.7060609@kace.com> Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 10:29:55 -0500 From: Tom Whittaker User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 (X11/20071008) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Ed Maste References: <20080429004538.GB11308@sandvine.com> In-Reply-To: <20080429004538.GB11308@sandvine.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-OriginalArrivalTime: 29 Apr 2008 15:25:55.0242 (UTC) FILETIME=[512030A0:01C8AA0D] Cc: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Adaptec 3405 problems X-BeenThere: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: SCSI subsystem List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:29:47 -0000 I was using build 15323 before and was having similar problems. It seems to be either related to or can be caused by running arcconf. There is no version for 7.0 yet, adaptec has a version on their site they just released 4/6 but it needs the 6.x compat libs to run.
