Wrench Sun Storage Tek 2540 M2 controller lockdown
hello all,

I have recently acquired the above server and i am having issues with the RAID controllers being put into a lockdown state.
This occurs when new drives are added to the array, the controller automagically reboots and then gives status codes OE and LT. After this i am unable to communicate at all with the controllers.

So far i have connected to the arrays successfully using CAM with no drives in, but when the drives are added CAM loses communication with the array/controllers.

If anyone has any experience with these arrays, is there a preferred method of installing HDD's into the array, or is there any way to remove the lockdown state from the controller?

Any help wold be greatly appreciated Smilie

LEARN ABOUT NETBSD

icp

ICP(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    ICP(4)

NAME

     icp -- ICP-Vortex and Intel Storage RAID driver

SYNOPSIS

     icp* at pci? dev ? function ?
     ld* at icp? unit ?
     icpsp* at icp? unit ?
     scsibus* at icpsp?

DESCRIPTION

     The icp driver provides support for the newer (post 1997) ICP-Vortex GDT and Intel Storage RAID controllers.

     The ld driver provides access to logical devices (disk arrays) presented by the controller.  The icpsp driver provides direct access to other
     SCSI devices attached to the controller, such as tape or CD-ROM drives.

DIAGNOSTICS

     pci_mem_find: expected mem type 00000000, found 00000002
		   This message may be displayed during autoconfiguration if the controller's memory is mapped below 1MB in physical address
		   space.  This can be disabled either through changing a setting in the controller's BIOS utility, or changing the position of a
		   jumper on the board.  See your controller's documentation for more information.

SEE ALSO

     intro(4), ld(4), scsi(4)

HISTORY

     The icp driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.6, and was based on the FreeBSD and OpenBSD drivers of the same name.

BUGS

     ISA & EISA front-ends and a management interface are needed.

     Older PCI boards are not yet supported.
