We are attempting to install a new Micropolis 1588-15 SCSI drive with a Sun 3/60 running SunOS 3.5 via an Emulex MD21 controller. The controller already has a SCSI disk and tape drive attached. The new drive is set to be SCSI unit 1, the Emulex unaltered, however diag cannot find the new drive, instead producing: ncycl 1614 acyl 2 nhead 15 nsect 54 interleave 1 reset the SCSI bus... Test unit ready failed, cyl=0, head=0, sector=0 scb: 2 check sense bytes: 70 0 2 0 0 0 0 A 0 0 0 0 FF sense class 7 sense key 2 Not Ready. block no. 0 It still works fine for unit 0, and the drive is ok. Have we missed something obvious? Thanks in advance for any information. -------------------------------8<------------------------------- Evan Harris evan@goanna.cs.rmit.OZ.AU Dept. of Computer Science ...!uunet!goanna.cs.rmit.OZ.AU!evan RMIT, Australia

I got a fax from a supplier here in Aust. & it gave the physical disk information as: Cyls: 1632 (unformatted) 1628 (formatted) Heads: 15 Sectors/Track: 54 No matter what values I gave 'format', it'd balk at the same Cyl/head/sector counts (even if the sector # it gave in error is higher that the # of sectors/track that I specified. ie: error message info. from the disk via. SCSI)). Anyway, our solution: Trade in the Microp. drives & get Wren Vs! However, all that withstanding, your error is different to ours, but it's possible that this is how the problem is reported on a Sun3 as opposed to an SS1.
