probe-scsi-all hangs - not returning anything
HI

I have a V240 server and the probe-scsi-all on the Ok prompt is taking forever.

I have tried powercycling the server multiple times.

also tried set-defaults and reset-all..

COuld anyone tell the solution to this.. I have run out of options now.

Following is the only thing that i see

{1} ok probe-scsi-all
/pci@1d,700000/SUNW,qlc@1,1
*************************** Local Loop Devices ***************************
Adapter loopId - 0
Device AL-PA 1 loopId 7d Hard-addr 0 Port WWN 100000e002236d82

so you should check your external storage and the cables to the server... looks like the loop is not closed properly...

Hit the "esc" key then it should move on to the next device. Hopefully that will work.

I seen this a lot when I was a FE.
