DOCUMENT ID: 1510-02 SYNOPSIS: SCSI transport failures from timeout, reset or incomplete OS RELEASE: 2.4 PRODUCT: Solaris KEYWORDS: scsi transport timeout reset incomplete SYMPTOMS: Getting SCSI errors when booting from a hard drive after Operating System installation is done. Operating System installation succeeded onto the drive just fine, but, when it boots from the drive, it gets just past the point where it checks the file system, then it seems to hang, then there are a flood of SCSI errors: e.g.> transport failed: reason "timeout" "reset" or "incomplete" DESCRIPTION: The install environment uses some settings in the /etc/system file to allow it to work better with a wide range of hardware. Perhaps one of these settings would help. SOLUTION: Boot from the installation CD, and exit out of the installation at the first available option, then add the following in the /etc/system file. This needs to be added after the "* set: " section. Here is what you can try to set: set scsi_options=0x58 set scsi_reset_delay=10000 DATE APPROVED: 09/05/95
