I have an Ultra 60 here at home with a D1000 attached to a dual-diff Sun
SCSI card, and I'm experiencing a few problems.

I have the D1000 set up (I think!) as two 6 bay packs each on it's own
controller on the SCSI board.

I've filled it with a fair old hotch-potch of SCA disk I have lying around,
plus a few leeched cheaply off Ebay. The setup is really just to test
Veritas Volume Manager for a project at work, if I ever get that far!

I like Disksuite anyway but........

All the disks I have appear to work individually, tested in an Ultra 30 and
seen from OBP, but when in the D1000 I can never get them to all be seen at
once.

This is my current disk list...

Only 10 disks, should be 13 inc the boot drive in the U60. I can move the
disks about, reboot -- -r and they may appear in another slot, and another
one will disappear. Too many permutations to try them all. This is a
previous effort....

11 disks this time....

And c3t12d0 <SUN2.1G cyl 2733 alt 2 hd 19 sec 80> is a 4.3gb Sun disk
according to the casing label!!

Anyway, I've tried stuff like deleting /dev/dsk/c2* /dev/dsk/c3* and the
rdsk equivs and reconfig booting but same end result.

The only thing I haven't done is rebuild the Ultra 60, which is patched up
Sol 9 and also my jumpstart server so I'm reluctant to do that!

Only other thing is I don't have the scsi chain actively terminated. There
are not other devices on them, and I relied on auto-term.

I'm off to fiddle with the switches on the back again....

You have to use terminators (HVD) on the D1000 and A1000.

Fitted the correct wide-diff terminators and same result, again after
deleting the device trees and reboot -- -r

Juggling the disks now see if that helps narrow things down...

Think I solved it. After a lot of trial and error seems two identical
HP-badged Seagate drives don't wanna play ball.

Digging out some replacements now...
