A friend has a Netra T1, with what I believe are 2x18GB internal hard disks,
and an external RAID (just configured as sepparte disks) of 4 x 73GB
and 4 x 36GB. It's running Solaris S9. The internal disks are Sun, the external ones Compaq.

It's giving a lot of errors on the disk, and from what I can gather needs Control D at startup
so the system is wanting to be run in single user mode, but since my friend knows little
Solaris, there is not much point in him doing anything. I'm located 100 miles away.

Can anyone see any pattern to this below? The machine was working fine at one
point.

Is there any evidence to suggest the internal Sun disks have problems, or it just the external ones?

I'm not sure how to interpret things such as:

Here's /var/adm/messages just after a reboot, which needed a control D to avoid single user mode.

Seeing how all of the target errors I see belong to the external disks
and are all at once I would say you :
a. Have a failing controller - Do you have a pci scsi card to test with ?
b. Have a failing raid box - Is this an active raid box with a seperate
controller or just a simple JBOD ?

But note the externals are Compaq, not Sun. He gave me a couple of
Compaq 36GB disks which I have never managed to get working in an SS20,
despite the fact I have used disks from Sun, Seagate, IBM, HP and others
in the Sun, all without problems. Compaq disks and my SS20 do not get on
together. But they seemed OK at first in his T1, but perhaps now are
presenting problems.

He does not have another controller card, but I have a one I could loan
him (dual Sun one).

However, he does have another T1, which he wants to give to me so I can
learn about it and help him. The 'lom' thing I don't understand. I'm
only a home user, with my best box being a U80.

I don't know, as I have not seen any of it. I suspect it might be a bit
more than an simple external SCSI box, but I don't know.

I've managed to get it to the point where it will reboot properly
without human intervention, by commenting out the entry in /etc/vfstab
of a file system that is clearly corrupt. But whilst it boots OK now,
there are still SCSI errors, so the problem needs addressing.

Thanks Steve.

I've got a 32-disk E450 running 50/50 on Sun and Compaq disks; no
problems there. Also I had a compaq disk in my Netra T1/105 for a while
that didn't give me problems. I'm sure the problem is elsewhere.

Thanks, this has now been solved. The cable had a fault on his machine.

I will perhaps revisit the problem of the Compaq disks I was given in my
SS20. I will try thme on a PC and/or an Ultra 60. But the things just
would not work. I don't know the exact history of them, I must admit,
but knowing the source they came from, I doubt they were failed units.

More likely, a dodgy cable.

I meant to include that too - It's definitely the easiest part of the
equation to eliminate first :-).
