2603.0. "BAD SCSI STATUS 18 on a AS2100" by MUCCS1::PIETERSON (Alpha AXP Hardware Support ) Thu May 22 1997 10:16


Hello 

We have the following problem here on a AS2100 4/275 by a customer in Munich:

When a init is done on the console we get a the point when the console output
says "TESTING THE DISKS ( read only ) the error message "BAD SCSI STATUS 18"

The AS2100 is in an ASE cluster with a A8200
The disks are connected by KZPSA's.

The operating system is UNIX 3.2D
ASE revision is 1.3

Is it possible that these error occurs because this a ASE cluster, while
a init was done on the AS2100, the AS8200 was up and running.

Thanks in advance

2603.1ASE Reserves disksNNTPD::"[email protected]"Pelle WahlstromThu May 22 1997 14:2011
Yes, the reason for this SCSI status code is ASE. 18 (Hex) means 
RESERVATION CONFLICT. If you try to access a disk on a SCSI bus, and some
other
initiator has reserved it via SCSI RESERVE command, you will get back this 
status code. ASE prevents a second host to access a disk by reserving the
disk.
This is to increase data integrity. If the ASE service is relocated to the
other host the old reservation would be remvoed and the new server would 
resevre the disk.
