StorEdge D1000 & Windows 2000
First time Sun user & not "au fey" with Sun/Solaris products. Recently bought StorEdge D1000 unit on e-Bay & can't see array unit or drives thru HBA. Not sure if unit is faulty or a "dedicated" unit, so seeking help.
Short synopsis is: 1. Hardware - Gigabyte GA-7VA-C MB/Athlon 2000XP+/1GB DDR SDRAM with Adaptec 39160 2-channel U160 SCSI HBA (latest firmware, channel A only)
2. OS - Windows 2000 Professional + Mandrake Linux 9.0 (dual boot)
3. D1000 Array - configured as 2x6 HDDs (3x9GB Ultra2 HDDs, upper bays only); Array IDs set high (Option switch = up/up/down/down/down [1-5]); HBA to D1000 connection = 68-pin LVD cable (straight-through, unterminated); D1000 to external 18GB U160 HDD = 68-pin LVD cable (active termination); all HDDs OK (verified); D1000 indicators (power supply, fan, controller board & power/HDD LEDs) OK & HDDs spin-up after unit power-up
4. Problem(s) - no detection of HDDs installed in D1000 at bootup (Adaptec SCSI BIOS)
- no detection of external HDD at bootup (with & without D1000 powered up)
- no HDD access in Windows or Linux
Anybody have any answers, haven't had this problem configuring SCSI devices in the past. There are some jumpers on controller board but function unknown. Any feedback appreciated.
Thanx
