Folks,
I am trying to replace a P93 Dell box that has an external Winchester RAID 1
drive with another identical P93 Dell box.
- The boot process stalls at. Slot 01, Ch A, ID 0, LUN 0 (no size is
listed). It does not even get to the Winchester RAID 1 drive; from memory
that is the next line in the boot process. I have tried numerous times
using each of the RAID 1 drives individually, and with both installed.
- Initially I could boot into the Setup and Boot Menu configurations using
the F2 and F12 keys but after about a dozen attempts neither of them work
anymore.
- Also initially I could trigger the SCSISelect Utility using the <Ctrl><A>
keys but again that does not work anymore.
- When the SCSISelect Utility did work, I ran the Verify Test and it was
obvious the SCSI card could see the RAID drive(s) 17Gb.
- The Winchester RAID 1 drive passes diagnostics and indicates Ready.
- Based on a successful SCSISelect Utility test and a Winchester Ready
status I am guessing the SCSI interface is working properly but..
- Having no luck with the 1st P93 Dell box, I swapped it out with a 2nd P93
Dell box so it was now connected to the same Winchester RAID 1 drive.
- Unfortunately the 2nd one also stalls at. Slot 01, Ch A, ID 0, LUN 0.
Since Winchester RAID 1 drive and the SCSISelect Utility pass all tests, it
points back to the P93 Dell boxes as the culprit; but both with the same
problem? I am confused.
Any ideas/suggestions on why these P93 Dell boxes are stalling during the
boot process at. Slot 01, Ch A, ID 0, LUN 0 (no size is listed)?
Thanks
