Guys,
I have googled and checked this forum in detail and couldn't find any satisfactory answers for my problem.
I am trying to connect a external SCSI hard Drive(Sea Gate) to a Ultra 80.
I connected it powered it up and at OK prompt did : boot -r
system comes up and complains about not recognizing c1t1d0s6 (this is my external hard drive). I go to single user mode and try to mount it :
mount /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s6 /abc --> it complains can't find device ( or something like that).
I stop my machine and at OK prompt type probe-scsi-all. Initially it was giving me "bus fault" (then I thought maybe my cable is bad) got a new cable but the same issue. Then I did reset-all and did probe-scsi-all and it starts seeing drive (but showing unconfigured).
If i type format command it doesn't see the external hard drive.
I am thinking my hard drive is bad , but can somebody think of something else before i spend money and buy a new hard drive.
I am not sure about what scsi controller ??
I am using a Sun Ultra 80 and trying to talk to "Ultra Scsi" hard drive.
Is there a command I can use to find out what scsi controller I am using ??
