For the past 15 days we've been suffering from dropped (and resumed after some random time) NSF connections. What has been occurring is that the file stops responding (e.g. to pings). Connecting to the console and pinging anything restarts connections. We have another identical machine that is NOT having any problems. We have swapped NIC, Fiber cable, GBICs on the Cisco, switched ports on the Cisco, and even swapped our spare head in. Any one have any ideas? <scw> postmaster(a)seas.ucla.edu -- ----- Stephen C.

Looking for recommendations on a fibre channel HBA to connect a Sun v480 to a NetApp FAS3020
by Demaagd, Dave 31 May '06

31 May '06

Currently have a Sun v480 running Solaris 8, and some time in the next month or so, I'll be getting an FAS3020, and I want to hook the two units together via fibre channel, and I'm looking for recommendations on what would be a good HBA to use (or even what not to use - I'm open to any information at this point). What I've found so far, from a little googling, seems to indicate that there's not a lot out there outside of Sun's StorageTek line. -- Dave DeMaagd, DOL QA Engineering dave.demaagd(a)dig.com | 8186233755 | 8182627958

Maintenance Garage is a new functionality (introduced in 7.0.4 I believe) that helps to remove drives when they aren't functioning properly and trying to recover them without outright failing them. It is also supposed to allow operations to continue to all other drives in the raidgroup and when\if the drive is recoverable only update the changes that the one questionable drive has missed. I'm paraphrasing quite a bit, but I recall that to be the gist. Either way, pretty cool stuff.
