SUMMARY:(for now) E420R disk problems.

Hi All,

The errors I was seeing in the log which indicated to me that that there was
a bad block on
one of the disks may not be accurate. Current thinking suggests the problems
are down to firmware revisions on the A1000 controllers. I'm going to
upgrade that and see how things shake down afterwards.

And it seems the answer to my secondary question about a binary error
logger/analyser is NO as far as Solaris is concerned.

Cheers

Joe

------- original message minus the errors from
/var/adm/messages---------------------

It looks to me like a bad block on a disk. The problem I have is that every
disk in the system is mirrored and dual
hosted so I'm bit concerned it took the system down.
The data disks live in two A1000s (12x 18Gb) which are cross-linked between
two E420Rs and then mirrored via Veritas.

Any pointers appreciated. Also is there any chance SUN have a decent error
logging/analysis facility? I'm used to
DECevent on Alpha but I've not found anything similar on Solaris yet?

Cheers
