WARNING: /pci@4,4000/scsi@4/sd@5,0 (sd95):

[COTLG]

Hi,

These are the some contents of /var/adm messages file for an Enterprise 450 I am setting up. I have got it on the network with a new nodename and IP address but these errors keep on coming up at boot time. Are there some scsi devices not connected or what?

Urgent help needed.

Looks like you either have a bad disk, tape drive, or SCSI adapter.

 

[mikeclark]

The first three messages you can ignore, they usually just mean you don't have any of those devices setup.
The other messages look like a disk ( IBM) not ready, either faulty or has become disconnected.

On issuing the format command, I got this output for one of the disks:

c6t5d0 <drive type unknown>
pci@4,4000/scsi@4/sd@5,0

Any way to resolve this?

Thanks

The label got corrupted. Format provide the capability
to restore a backup label, if one is there. You could try
that by running format and selecting the backup function.
Also you can use the label command ,within format, and attempt to label the disk. If you have another disk of the same type you can use that geometry to label with.

Normally when you see this the disk is bad and you will not be able to do the above. Replacement of the disk then will be the solution.

You can get rid of the first three messages by commenting out the relevant lines in the /etc/system file, it's obvious which lines need to be commented out, I believe they are related to volume management software. Make sure you make a copy of the /etc/system file before editing.
