- I am trying to install a disk & dat subsystem on an HP 720. It has an internal
- disk at scsi address 6.
-
- I set the disk address to 4 and the tape address to 2. When the 720 comes up, it sees devices at adresses 2,4,6 and boots from 6 as it should. I did a
- mknod on /dev/rmt/0m,0mn and the tape works like a charm.
-
- Howver, I modified /etc/disktab,/etc/master,/usr/sam/lib/disk_aliases
- as follows:
- from disktab :

- This added the required descriptions of the Fujitsu M2266 disk drive.
- When I enter sam to add the disk, i go through the menus until i get
- to the add a disk menu. When I press enter , the message working comes
- up, lasts for 20-30 seconds, and then the system crashes.
-
- 1 ) Am I doing something oviously wrong ??
- 2 ) If not, how do I get to the system core dump to analyse it and see
- what is going wrong?? On some systems , the system memory dumps to
- a particular directory, and then upon reboot, you use dbx -?
- to analyse the core file. Is there a similar procedure here??
-
- I know the vendor who supplied that disk has suppled 3 already that
- installed perfectly smoothly. I don't see what the difference is and I
- am suspecting flaky hardware, likely the disk as the disk and tape are
- in the same cabinet, and the tape works fine.
-
- While I am at it, the disk is supposed to be jumpered for asynchronous
- transfer mode. Does the HP 720 not support synchronous scsi, or is it the
- combination of Fujitsu and HP that won't work in synchrous transfer mode?
