Weird bootlist output
just setup a new system today - 9117 570, using HMC for console but not partitioned.

I installed this system twice. the first time it started off as 5300-00, then updated to ML03. before the update, I believe I mirrored the rootvg, and then altered the bootlist, at that point, the display was OK.

after I updated the ML to 03, I tried to update service boot list, that's when I noticed something weird:

display:
CURRENT BOOTLIST DEVICES FOR SERVICE MODE 802592

The following devices are listed in the order they appear
in the service mode bootlist.

hdisk0 blv=hd5 Unavailable Device
hdisk1 blv=hd5 Unavailable Device

try to alter the list:
*** WARNING ***

One or more devices in the current bootlist are
not available as IPL devices. They may not be
used when modifying the bootlist. Either ERASE
the bootlist first, or do not use these devices
in the new list.


next screen:
[FONT=Courier New]ALTER SERVICE MODE BOOTLIST DEVICES 802593

Specify the access order of the boot devices.
Indicate by placing the appropriate integer in the
bracketed [] field. (1 is first, 2 is second, etc.)

hdisk0 blv=hd5 Unavailable Device [ 1] #
hdisk1 blv=hd5 Unavailable Device [ 2] #
cd0 IDE DVD-RAM Drive [ ] #
hdisk0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive [ ] #
hdisk1 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive [ ] #
hdisk2 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive [ ] #
hdisk3 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive [ ] #



# bootlist -m normal -o
hdisk0 blv=hd5
hdisk1 blv=hd5

# bootlist -m service -o
hdisk0 blv=hd5
hdisk1 blv=hd5



needless to say, I reissued bosboot command, no difference, and then tried reinstall; this time, using a media that has 5300-03, and the problem is still there. This is the first 5300-03 system I have installed, previously, I have worked on 5300-02, no problem. Is this something with 5300-03? I searched google and IBM site, but no luck..

Assistance greatly appreciated!

asr

ASR(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    ASR(4)

NAME

     asr -- driver for Adaptec I2O based SCSI/ATA host bus adapters

SYNOPSIS

     device asr

DESCRIPTION

     The Adaptec asr driver provides access to disks and disk arrays controlled by I2O based host bus adapters and SmartRAID SCSI RAID adapters
     through the standard SCSI disk da(4) interface.

     The supported adapters provide 64 bit PCI, Compact PCI, Zero Channel PCI, and up to four channels of Ultra2, Ultra 160, or Ultra320 SCSI, or
     two channels of 1GB Fibre.  All support RAID-0, RAID-1, RAID-10, RAID-5 and RAID-50 arrays.  All SCSI target types are supported.	For the
     ATA based controllers, one IDE drive per channel is supported.  Hot-swapping of IDE drives is not supported at this time.

     All host bus adapters must be configured before they can be used with any operating system.  Please contact Adaptec directly to obtain the
     latest information on configuration utilities for the adapters.  Currently there are both a Motif based GUI configuration utility and a CLI
     based configuration utility available from the Adaptec Web site.  The cards and arrays can also be configured via the BIOS based configura-
     tion tool (SMOR).

HARDWARE

     The adapters currently supported by the asr driver include the following:

     o	 Adaptec Zero-Channel SCSI RAID 2000S, 2005S, 2010S, 2015S
     o	 Adaptec SCSI RAID 2100S, 2110S
     o	 Adaptec ATA-100 RAID 2400A
     o	 Adaptec SCSI RAID 3200S, 3210S
     o	 Adaptec SCSI RAID 3400S, 3410S
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM1554
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM1564
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM2554
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM2564
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM2664
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM2754
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM2865
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM3754
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM3755U2B / SmartRAID V Millennium
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM3757
     o	 DEC KZPCC-AC (LVD 1-ch, 4MB or 16MB cache), DEC KZPCC-CE (LVD 3-ch, 64MB cache), DEC KZPCC-XC (LVD 1-ch, 16MB cache), DEC KZPCC-XE (LVD
	 3-ch, 64MB cache) -- rebadged SmartRAID V Millennium

FILES

     /dev/asr*	Adaptec SCSI RAID control nodes

NOTES

     The ATA based controllers present their devices as SCSI-like devices via CAM.  For IDE drives attached to these cards, a subset of standard
     SCSI commands and mode pages are understood via translation performed in the card's firmware.

SEE ALSO

     da(4)

HISTORY

     The asr (Adaptec SCSI RAID) driver first appeared as the dpti2o driver under BSDi BSD/OS 3.2, then under FreeBSD 2.2.8 and was ported over to
     the CAM layer represented in 4.0.

AUTHORS

     The asr driver was kindly donated by Adaptec and is maintained by Mark Salyzyn <mark_salyzyn@adaptec.com>.  This manual page was written by
     Mark Salyzyn and fixed up by Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai@FreeBSD.org>.
