Operating Systems Solaris Sense key unit attention & iostat hardware and transport errors on SAN disks Post 302836335 by DukeNuke2 on Wednesday 24th of July 2013 03:03:11 AM

It could be the whole way of transport... From HBA to the transceiver over the cables to the other end of the system. it can also be a hardware error on the HBA itself. Also there can be a faulty device which may cause bus resets and therfore a rescan of the bus all the time.

The first thing I would try is to change two transceivers (from two HBAs; if you have) and see if the error is going with the transceiver or staying on the same controller.

NAME
tran_bus_reset - reset a SCSI bus SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h> int prefix tran_bus_reset(dev_info_t *hba_dip, int level); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI PARAMETERS
hba_dip The dev_info_t pointer associated with the SCSI HBA. level The level of reset required. DESCRIPTION
The tran_bus_reset() vector in the scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure should be initialized during the HBA driver's attach(9E). It is an HBA entry point to be called when a user initiates a bus reset through device control interfaces. tran_bus_reset() must reset the SCSI bus without resetting targets. level will be one of the following: RESET_BUS Reset the SCSI bus only, not the targets. Implementation is hardware specific. If it is not possible to reset the SCSI bus without changing the state and operating mode of the tar- gets, the HBA driver should not initialize this vector or return failure. RETURN VALUES
tran_bus_reset() should return: 1 on success. 0 on failure. ATTRIBUTES
