kernel/os is 4.1-RELEASE right now, fresh install ... I'm getting totally
random and, what appears to be, harmless SCSI problems, and across both
controllers, where Solaris/x86 had zero problems before ...

Thanks ...

From what I read in a list message not too long ago the
"old-style compatibility shims" note means that the dpt
driver was not (as of 4.1-r) "converted" to the "newbus"
architecture.  I've noticed that as of going to -stable
sometime in early to mid-August, this note has
disappeared.  There have been some dpt updates August 7 &
August 26.

I have been trying to set up a vinum volume both manually and with the 
following config file. Within vinum I 'create /etc/vinum.conf' and the machine
panics.

drive drive1 device /dev/da1e

         sd length 8683m drive drive16
         sd length 8683m drive drive4

trying to configure similar volumes from the vinum prompt produces errors as 
follows:

vinum -> mirror -v -n raid10 -s /dev/da7e /dev/da8e /dev/da9e /dev/da10e
drive vinumdrive0 device /dev/da7e
drive vinumdrive1 device /dev/da8e
drive vinumdrive2 device /dev/da9e
drive vinumdrive3 device /dev/da10e
Can't create drive vinumdrive3, device /dev/da10e: Invalid argument (22)

The partitions that throw up errors remain consistant, though this does not
cause a panic as create does (this way uses 256k stripes which I do not believe
is the problem)

There seems no obvious diference in disk label from those that work and those
that don't:

NB these drives are on two busses before anyone gets worried about numbers :-)

The machine has a full set of da* devices.

Any Ideas?

Hmm.

No, it wouldn't be the stripe size.

Yes, that's clear from the dmesg.

The best I can think of here would be a parse error, but I've seen
other people go up to 32 drives (after which there *is* a problem).
I've had up to about 12  devices on my test box, but they weren't all
SCSI.  A couple of questions:

1.  Does the command-line error always start with da10?
2.  Can you get a dump?

Take a look at http://www.vinumvm.org/how-to-debug.html and send me in
the info I need, and I'll look at it right away.

With 4.1-Stable we could not get the random hang to go away.  We gave up
on U160 and Adaptec and just replaced it with a symbios card.

No specific drives gave problems,  da1 da2 da3 da4 da6 and da10.

The drives had been through some testing here and a little investigating
has turned up the following:

da5-16 had previously been in a vinum volume, then da1-12
da1-4 had been in a windows box 
da0 the  system disk has been in the machine for some time. 

da1-4 had been partitioned and labeled by dd'ing da10 (originally da6) onto
da1-4.

Only then had a vinum resetconfig been done. 

The only disks to give errors were the one copied from, the ones copied to and
the one that had the same designation (da6) as the copied one had originally. 

repartioning and labeling all disks and partitions concerned resolved the 
problem.

We were adding disk to a production machine could and should have got core
at the time it was broken  but didn't, sorry:-(

Hello,

Reading the list for a few weeks now, and about to buy a system, does
anybody can tell me if Gateway Server 6400, that includes dual channel
SCSI Ultra 160 is working with FreeBSD?

Thank you,

Olivier

Is there a compareable SCSI card, with the amount of connectors like
on the 29160 ? At least I need LVD wide and Narrow SCSI.

BTW, what symbios model is it ?

A quick look at www.lsilogic.com is probably the faster way to get the
information.

IIRC:

 - SYM8955U 1 channel LVD U3
 - SYM22915 2 channels LVD U3
 - SYM21040 1 channel LVD U3 + 1 channel SE (U1).

Each channel has its own set of SCSI core + SCRIPTS processor + RAM and
appears as a separate PCI function (i.e. 2 channels =3D 2 separate
controllers on a single chip)
All these boards have a 64 bit PCI interface.

Symbios is just the chipset these days.  I've had excellent results with
the Tekram DC390-U3W using the "sym" driver.  I'm using it to work around the
broken onboard 29160 on my SuperMicro 370DL3 motherboard.  Unfortunately,
the 64 bit tekram card has a different shaped slot than the 64 bit on the
370DL3, but it works fine in 32 bit mode.  

The DC390-U3W has, I believe, actually one more channel by default than
the 29160.  I believe you can use LVD, UW, and 50 pin all at the same time.

That's what the 29160 has, too.  I know, I bought it (it's sitting
here) and I have just ordered the DC390-U3W (darn it).

Nice paperweight.

So you also didn't get the 29160 to work ? Shit...

Then I'd possibly buy the Tecram as well if I return home from a 
short vacation ...

BTW, does the Tecram has a BIOS with nearly the same functionality
with respect to speed settings per device and low-level and non
destructive scan functions ?!

What version of FreeBSD are y'all (David, Chuck and Andreas) using?

Two folks in this thread have said they're using -stable, and have
problems.

Justin made a couple of rather large changes to the ahc driver in July, but
hasn't merged them to -stable yet.

Have any of you tried -current?  (I'd recommend something before the SMP
merge, and I wouldn't recommend it if you've got a production box.)

4.1-STABLE as of 9/4/2000.  Alas, the machine is live and doing work (about to 
go _very_ live and do even more work).  I dropped the Tekram in b/c I was out 
of fiddling time.  I'd love to help you research, but can't spare the 
downtime..

That's certainly understandable, but it does tell me something.  If
neither Andreas nor Chuck are using -current, it might suggest that
trying -current would be a good thing for someone who doesn't have
a production box.

It's odd, I have a 4.1-stable server, in production, never had a prob... and
we have the 29160.  However, our other 2 machines could never get
to -stable, and I have been told -stable fixes that.  The company I used to
work for had about 5 servers with 29160's and the infamous Seagate drives
taht supposedly case this prob, and I was told to just disable write-back
caching in the scsi bios.  I had it done, didnt work... I just thought I
would share this with you.

It doesn't seem to happen with all 29160's, but it does seem to happen with
all SuperMicro 370DL3 motherboards.  I have IBM 36GB 10k drives, so it's not
that they're Seagates...

Maybe you shouldn't read too much into that one report, Ken.  I have a
different set of symptoms.  I can talk to the drive (the IBM 18G
Ultra160), my problem is that I can't coax it into booting.  Anything
short of booting (disklabelling, newfs'ing, mounting, running as a
secondary drive) works fine.  I do happen to run current, tho.

I'm not even really sure it's the controller ... it could be the IBM
drive, but this seems to be the only thing I can do.  What with all the
other reported problems (and all the stuff I've tried), I don't see I have
another option.  It's the uncertainty of it that kinda gripes me, I could
well be wasting more cash on the Tekram.

If you have another Ultra160 drive, and you want to verify things, I
wouldn't mind sending the 29160 to you.  It doesn't seem to be helping me
any right now.

hi Smith.

it doesn't have Ncr Driver method under FreeBSD 3.4 .
you must add struct method for /usr/src/sys/pci/ncr.c and recompile
kernel.

struct name is follow as.

Hmm, that's strange indeed.  You're right, you likely have a different
problem.

Have you sent mail directly to Justin?  If he hasn't responded to your
questions here on the -scsi list, mail him directly.

Justin would likely be able to do more with it than I, and he probably
already has as many 29160s as he wants.  It could be there's a problem with
yours, though.  In that case, it might do some good to send it to him to
look at.

Anyway, try asking him, he may have a clue about what might be going on.

I've uploaded a new version of the aic7xxx driver here:

http://people.FreeBSD.org/~gibbs/aic7xxx-20000916.tar.gz

It contains a slew of fixes for different chip and chip->chipset
issues that I've been able to uncover documentation for.  These
fixes affect several of the chips depending on the type of PCI
chipset you have, so if you've been having trouble, give this
a shot.  To name a few hot items:

	o 7880 controller hangs should be resolved.

	o The 3940AUW should work again. (I burned almost two
	  weeks tracking down this obscure issue with external
	  SCB memory).

	o Some issues with U160 controllers on 66MHz
	  busses should be corrected.

The new driver should be going into -current as soon as some
repo-copy work is completed by the CVS-meisters, and, based
on feedback, this code is certainly a candidate for -stable.

That might be related to the 66MHz problem that Justin posted about in his
announcement of the new version of the Adaptec driver.

I'm not sure which bus the 7892 is on, though.  dmesg or pciconf -l might
tell you.  (Just see if it is on the same bus as the devices in the 32 bit
PCI slots.)
