problem in SCSI

Hi,

i have a problem in the SCSI.

here is the /var/adm/messages:

Feb 7 05:31:22 tasdp1 scsi: [ID 365881 kern.info] fas: 5.0: cdb=[ 0xa 0x0 0x0 0x28 0x0 0x0 ]

Feb 7 05:31:22 tasdp1 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /sbus@3,0/SUNW,fas@3,8800000 (fas0):

Feb 7 05:31:22 tasdp1 SCSI transport failed: reason 'timeout': giving up

Hello,

Firts, go to the OBP. If you are running Solaris, type "init 0" as root. This will bring your system to the OBP(like a PC's BIOS). It just says "ok>" when it's ready.

Next, enter the following:

"setenv auto-boot? false"

This stops the system from booting automagically when you turn it on or resets it.

Next:

"reset-all" this resets your system, and goes back to the OBP

Then enter

"probe-scsi-all"

This will give you a list of scsi devices on your system.

After this, remember to:

"setenv auto-boot? true"

To let the system boot automagically again.

In this case, I can see that the problem is an unresponsive tape device which has SCSI ID 5 (st@5,0 means scsi tape at id 5)
