Hello,

I have following configuration:
    * two IFT-3102U2G controllers are configured in redundant mode
    (caches get syncronized via channel 0), firmware revision 2.23
    * channel 1 is disk channel, it serves three Ultra2 drives
    * channels 2,3 are host channels

    * two hosts (2 x PIII Xeon-550, RAM 512M, C440GX+, no disk),
    FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE
    * host1's ultra2 port is connected to channel2
    * host2's ultra2 port is connected to channel3

When I pull away primary controller, processes which use disk
hangs. After ~4 sec secondary controller become primary.
Sometimes hung processes get running immediatery. But sometimes
unhangs only after 60 sec.

Also after controller reset (it takes 1-2 minute) some
directories became empty, another ones unreadable -- read
operation returns 'Device not configured'. The questions are:

1. Is it FreeBSD's or IFT's bug ?

2. Does anybody know solution/workaround ?

3. 'Disconnection' enabled on RAIDcontroller and on-board scsi
controller on hosts, is it correct ?

4. Does anybody have expirience maintaining servers without
local disk (external only) ? Are there any troubles ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SY, Alexander Bezroutchko
