- Keywords: sysdiag(1m), LDEV, PDEV, SCSI discs
-
- Dear Colleagues,
-
- In trying to solve a problem with bad blocks on a 3rd party SCSI disc
- (described in <sean.721458579@coombs>), I had an abortive play with
- sysdiag(1m) and the SCSIDSK2 diagnostic program (for which I have no
- documentation :-| ). I couldn't get anything interesting (well,
- anything at all, actually) out of it because I don't know how to
- specify an LDEV or PDEV for the disc device in question. The disc is
- at SCSI id 2 on the internal SCSI port of my 9000/750.
-
- The disc I want to look at is a Hitachi DK516C at SCSI id 2, the disc
- at SCSI id 6 is a Micropolis 1528 supplied by HP as the boot disc for
- our '750. Note that the HP disc would have been tested before
- installation, probably on July 3rd (from the date on the
- /dev/diag/dsk/c32d6 file). So the /dev/diag files seem to be OK.

- In sysdiag(1m) I've tried the following lines for LDEV:
-
- DUI> scsidsk2 ldev 2s0
- *** LDEV SPECIFICATION EXPECTED (DUISERR 536)
- DUI> scsidsk2 ldev=2s0

- So I'm getting close, but not quite close enough :-(
-
- Any help in solving this minor annoyance would be really appreciated!
