In regard to: [Networker] Very Frustrating Problem, Ken Gehring said (at...:

We are running Networker 6.1.4 (upgraded from 6.1.3 etc) on RedHat AS
3.0 with the latest kernel 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp and we have also tried
the 2.4.29 kernel. The Jukebox is a Storagetek L-80 with 8 SDLT drives
(set up 2 per scsi channel and the picker on its own channel). The scsi
cards are 3 Adaptec 39160 cards (we've also tried Buslogic cards). The
computer is an HP ML370 with 6GB of memory and about 200GB of disk and
dual  2.8GHz processors. We've also tried this with similar Dell
hardware (Dell 4600 configured about the same as the HP).

You provided a lot of useful information, but there's at least two
additional bits to look at:

- /etc/stinit.def

- Does `dmesg' report anything useful?


Also, if you have the sg3 utils (SCSI Generic utilities) installed, it
may be possible to use either sg_modes (mode sense) or sg_logs (log sense)
to query a device after a bus reset and find out additional information
about the most recent problem.  This would be a last resort, though,
because you would need to have a good understanding of SCSI.
