All,
I have a V480 running Solaris 8 attached to a CX700 array. I am kind of new to SANs. I am getting the following message:
Jun 1 13:50:43 <sysname> scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci@8,700000/ide@6/sd@0,0 (sd0):
Jun 1 13:50:43 <sysname>transport rejected (-1)
The system seems to be working fine. Anyone know what might cause this?
Kevin,
How often is that "error" written to your MESSAGES file?
Simply every once in a while, perhaps only at bootup ?
Or, is it filling the logs in an annoying fashion ?
That device path is to your CDROM/DVD drive.
If the drive is empty, that would account for the data transport process being incomplete.
So ...
If it's just an occasional log entry, then ignore it.
If this is an inordinate repetition of the error, then I'd suggest
some sort of software root cause:
-- maybe it's time for a Solaris patch cluster,
-- maybe an over-eager volume management,
-- perhaps a typo in a fstab file somewhere,
-- or perhaps some other computer in your organization is trying to automount the drive through the network.
Hello,
To bring up an old topic... the same messages here also on a V490.
Mar 20 08:34:23 <node> scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci@8,700000/ide@6/sd@0,0 (sd0):
Mar 20 08:34:23 <node>transport rejected bad packet
Even after a reboot this message comes every 15 minutes. As stated above, we checked if there was any way the device was somehow incorrectly mentioned in the fstab file (no mention of it at all) and no mount attempts as well.
As it is rather annoying and clutters up the messages log, we do would like to solve it. Is is however also possible the DVDROM drive is somehow broken?
If you can boot your system from installation media, the drive is fine.
The original poster never returned to the forums, so we'll probably
never know what was actually happening with their system.
The only accurate way to investigate this, is to use your warranty or service contract
and open a support case with Sun's technical support.

They'll examine your system's configuration and investigate
such things as OS patch levels, OBP patch levels, NFS configs,
and a myriad of other factors.
Let techsupport do what they are there for ...
The wierd things is that the DVD drive isn't listed in for instance the vfstab, isn't mounted at all and also never been used. (all servers are installed by either wanboot or jumped). The vold isn't even running.
To actually try to boot from the DVD is something we maybe will try at some time (just be sure it is hardware related). Since we seem to be stuck with the messages beeing cluttered, we excepted the error within our monitoring software (Tivoli/TEC) and well.. life goes on :)
Thanks for the offered tips.
