U320 drives reverting to async. mode, then disappearing
I have:
X4200
Solaris 10 11/06 fully patched
Sun (LSI) PCI-X Single U320 SCSI HBA (SGXPCI1SCSILM320-Z), LSI MPTBIOS 5.07.03
2 x Seagate ST3146707LC U320 SCA 10K drives
Supermicro CSE-M35S U320/U160 SCSI backplane (with QLogic GEM318 SAF_TE)
LSI BIOS identifies Seagate drives (target 0, 1), GEM318 (target 6) and adapter (target 7). I have created an entry in /kernel/drv/mpt.conf to drop mpt1 to U160, as QLogic GEM318 backplane only supports U160:
name="mpt" parent="/pci@1,0/pci1022,7450@2"
unit-address="1"
scsi-options=0x1ff8;
The backplane is terminated. When Solaris boots, I see:
Apr 23 13:29:02 myhostTarget 0 reducing sync. transfer rate
Apr 23 13:29:02 myhost scsi: WARNING: /pci@1,0/pci1022,7450@2/pci1000,5110@1 (mpt1):

The drives do not appear when I run format. They are not listed in prtpicl -v or prtconf -v. However, if I insert an old Sun 9.0GB drive (Fujitsu MAB3091SC) as target 2, Solaris discovers all drives and they run at FAST40 speed:
# prtpicl -v | egrep "NAME=|sync"
| NAME=mpt0 |
| NAME= usb_mid0 Power |
| NAME= hid0 Power |
| NAME= scsa2usb0 Power |
| NAME=spindle-motor |
| NAME= scsa2usb1 Power |
| NAME=spindle-motor |
| NAME= hubd0 Power |
| NAME=spindle-motor |
| NAME=mpt1 |
:target0-sync-speed40000
:target1-sync-speed40000
:target2-sync-speed40000
:target6-sync-speed5000
| NAME=spindle-motor |
I have swapped the cable, the HBA, the disks and the backplane with same results. Any ideas how can I run this at U160 without the redundant Sun 9.0GB drive?
Thanks.
