If both controllers give POST messages in one slot but not the other, it is a system board problem. If only one controller has a POST message, replace that controller. Resolve any other errors and then rerun ADU. Resolve any other errors and then rerun ADU. If the amber LED on the drive is on, replace the drive. Obtain the latest version of ADU.

Message
Description
Recommended Action
System board is
unable to identify
which slots the
controllers are in
Slot indicator on motherboard is not
working correctly. It appears to the
firmware that both controllers are in
the same slot.
Make sure that controllers are fully seated.
If the problem persists, this might indicate a
controller problem or a system board problem.
Follow these steps:
1.
Remove one of the controllers in the
configuration and see if the remaining
controller generates a POST message.
2.
Move the remaining controller to the other
slot and see if it still generates a POST
message.
3.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for other controller.
If both controllers give POST messages in one
slot but not the other, it is a system board
problem.
If only one controller has a POST message,
replace that controller.
This controller
cannot see the
drives but the
other controller
can
The other controller in the redundant
controller configuration cannot see
the drives, but this controller can.
Resolve any other errors and then rerun ADU.
This controller
can see the
drives but the
other controller
cannot
The other controller in the redundant
controller configuration can see the
drives, but this controller cannot.
Resolve any other errors and then rerun ADU.
Unable to
communicate
with drive on
SCSI Port
X
,
Drive ID
X
Controller could not communicate
with drive.
If the amber LED on the drive is on, replace the
drive.
Unknown disable
code
A code was returned from the array
accelerator board that the ADU does
not recognize.
Obtain the latest version of ADU.
Unrecoverable
read error
Read parity errors were detected
when attempting to read same data
from both sides of mirrored memory.
Data loss will occur.
Replace the array accelerator board.
WARNING
Drive Write
Cache is enabled
on
X
Drive has its internal write cache
enabled. The drive may be a
third-party drive, or the operating
parameters of the drive may have
been altered. This condition may
cause data corruption if power to the
drive is interrupted.
Replace the drive with a drive supplied by
Compaq, or restore the operating parameters of
the drive.
