A D1000 with an Ultra 80

I have a D1000, which passes all of it's diagnostics, and an Ultra-80 which does the same.

HOWEVER, when it comes to getting them to talk, it's a failure, and I need to ask why.

Sun U 80 with a dual-differential PCI card (The SYMBIOS one)

Diff cable to the D1000

Diff cable from OUT-A to IN-B

Terminator on OUT-B.

probe-scsi-all finds the controller, bot no StorEDGE.

a touch /reconfigure and reboot finds no StorEDGE.

The cables have been tested between the U80 and a UltraSCSI box, as has the controller.

The StorEdge has been set to factory defaults, SCSI ID of 1.

Q1) Even having all 12 disks show green lights on the StorEdge, could I have a defective controller in the StorEdge?

Q2) Or do I need some kind of software to get this to work? (The device driver appears to be there...but I am not sure.)

Please email responses to edward_otto@sbcglobal.net

Thanks,

Ed Otto

Hello Ed,

- is this the SYM22802 (375-0006, X6541A) ? Review the marks near the connector for Diff. not SE.

- check the dipswitches on the back (split bus: 2*4 or 2*6 drives without Jumper cabe but 2 terminators, single-bus: unique SCSI-ids for all drives, jumper cable and single terminator).

Review InfoDoc 18451.

- attach the Diff-SCSI terminator (150-1890) instead of the "External SCSI Jumper Cable" (530-1883) to terminate one half of the D1000. Are the drives in the attached "half" of the D1000 now visible with probe-scsi-all? Yes, then repeat for the other half.

- If the above step works, get a replacement Jumper Cable (a short cable from a unipack should temporarily work, HVD SCSI can use much longer cables than SE SCSI).
