I think the 4600 PERC3/Di is an on-board raid. In other words they'd have to send us a whole new mother board. :-( And there's no guarantee that will fix it. I'd like to have more information to narrow the problem down if it's available. I'm not trying to bash Dell tech support, but so far the tech's I've talked to haven't been much help. I asked the one I talked to today about the diagnostic boot params and getting more detailed output from the controller and he didn't think that was possible. The one I talked to Friday didn't understand why we have the backplane split to distribute load across two scsi busses instead of having all 8 disks on one bus. I figured someone here must know what boot params the aacraid controllers can take to spit out debugging information that might clue me or tech support in to which component is failing. -Kelly -----Original Message----- From: Adam Williams [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 07, 2003 4:12 PM To: Campbell, Kelly Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: afacli diagnostic boot params Ask dell tech support to send you a new raid card. We had a Perc2/SC go bad (its a megaraid card and not aacraid tho) and it would lock up randomly, sometimes not post, print weird errors on tty1, etc...Just ask the tech, usually they'll send you one without any problems.
