sun storedge multipack
I have a sun storedge multi-pack connected to two ultra 5's with solaris 9 on it but I couldn't use the drives as shared meaning i cannot mount the shared
device on both machine. I tested it by only connecting the multipack to a single ultra 5 either of the two ultra sees the drives and can be mounted, but when I connect it using SCSI in and out of the multipack only one machine can see it the other will give SCSI time oout error or when yoou do a format command it will tell you drive unavailable.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Dan

sun_question, I appreciate your help, and if you dont mind, may I ask if how can I change the scsi ID, do I have to do that on the O.S. or on the SCSI PCI cards?Thanks again,Dan

on one of your machines go to ok prmpt:
OKnvedit
0probe-all
1cd /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4
26 encode-int " scsi-initiator-id" property
3 device-end
4 install-console
5 banner<CTRL-C>
oknvstore
ok setenv use-nvramrc? true
ok reset-all
once the machine reboots go to ok prompt and verify
scsi id. do this
ok cd /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4
.properties ( to verify that scsi-initiator-id is 0000006)
Note: read sun openboot 3.x document on docs.sun.com
check device tree for scsi adapter using show-devs. it may be different on your machine ( i mean the line
/pci@if/....................../SUNW,isptwo@4

sun_question, Sorry to bother you again but when I do the command .properties it doesnt show me the existing scsi -ID is there another way to see the existing scsi ID at the ok prompt? Thanks, Dan
