qlogic 2340 and dell cx200

Tue Mar 8 05:23:38 PST 2005

Hi, 

I have been trying to use a SAN system using Dell CX200 fiber SAN Storage 
with Qlogic 2340 (PCI-X 133) HBA. But I had lots of error messages and 
unstable OS behaviour. I have tried different scenarios on that system. This 
qlogic 2340 card has a qlogic 2312 chipset which is recognized by my kernel: 

isp0: <Qlogic ISP 2312 PCI FC-AL Adapter> port 0xcc00-0xccff mem 
0xfcd00000-0xfcd00fff irq 24 at device 6.0 on pci3 

But in my test setup I receive following errors: 

(da0:isp0:0:0:0): READ(06). CDB: 8 f 3f 9f 80 0
(da0:isp0:0:0:0): CAM Status: SCSI Status Error
(da0:isp0:0:0:0): SCSI Status: Check Condition

(da0:isp0:0:0:0): Vendor Specific ASCQ
(da0:isp0:0:0:0): Retrying Command (per Sense Data) 

Sometime I receive following errors: 

isp0: bad execution throttle of 0- using 16
(da1:isp0:0:0:2): SYNCHRONIZE CACHE. CDB: 35 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
(da1:isp0:0:0:2): NOT READY asc:4,3
(da1:isp0:0:0:2): Logical unit not ready, manual intervention required 

I have enabled ispfw and my system sometime recognizes my LUN's that is 
smaller than 8 GB (I am not sure about size. I have tried 5GB LUNs). I can 
format and use it in one of my tries. But after adding a second 5GB LUN my 
system finds it as da1 but can't format it. I have also added a 30 GB LUN. 
This LUN can't be formatted to.

Has anyone a clue on what is going on? I am very new to that SAN concepts. 
But I am thinking that the HBA card is the problem but don't have a chance 
to try another HBA. 

I have also used ISP_TARGET_MODE=1 in my kernel (both 5.3R and 5-STABLE). 
But that totally disabled isp card.
