SCSI parity error when copying onto new hard disk

[wasserl]

Hello...

I am not a sys admin, but we don't have one right now and we are having problems with our new disk.

We used to have a 4gB SCSI disk. We just upgraded to a third party 18gB SCSI-2. Everything seemed to be going fine until we started copying a large file system to the new disk. Most of the file systems have been copied successfully, but the one with our development environment and Oracle crashes in the middle of the copy every time. We get a SCSI parity error .

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks,
wasserl

More detail needed;
Platform that this is on, Sun or Intel ?
If Sun, what model ?
Does the OS recognise the new disk as 18Gb ?
Is Oracle running on raw space ?
If so is the copy falling over in the middle of the raw space ?
Which command are you using to copy your filesystems ? Ian

"IF" is not a word it's a way of life

Hi ,
The common solution to parity errors is to do this

edit your etc/system

add a line

set scsi_options=0x58

reboot ur system...remeber do a reboot -- -r or a boot -r
