The SCSI bus designated "c6" is stuck in an unconfigured state, and I cannot get the server to recognize the tape drive attached to this bus because the bus itself is not configured. Here's an example of what's happening:
# cfgadm -c configure c6
# cfgadm -al
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c0 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
c0::dsk/c0t6d0 CD-ROM connected configured unknown
c1 fc-private connected configured unknown
c1::21000014c3cb097f disk connected configured unknown
c1::21000014c3cb09ca disk connected configured unknown
c2 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown
c3 fc-private connected configured unknown
c3::202400a0b83aa034 disk connected configured unknown
c6 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown
c7 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown
usb0/1 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb0/2 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb0/3 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb0/4 unknown empty unconfigured ok
Note that c6 is still unconfigured. I have tried reboot -- -r and devfsadm but neither of these worked. I also tried using the -f option with the cfgadm configure command, but this also did not help.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
probe-scsi-alldid not recognize the SCSI controller or the tape drive, but after I removed the terminator, it recognized everything correctly. I did aboot -rfor good measure, and now the SCSI controller and tape drive both show up in Solaris. I still can't get it to read the tape, but that's not a problem for this thread. – Dave Jan 31 at 19:28
