Description
On the nPartitionable servers, using the vparutil command to configure an
Ultra2 or Ultra160 SCSI card can cause the virtual partition that owns the
SCSI card to fail to boot.
Symptoms
On the nPartitionable servers, the virtual partition connected to an Ultra2
or Ultra160 SCSI boot device fails to boot after the SCSI card was
configured using the vparutil command.
Workaround
For vPars A.03.xx, bring down all the virtual partitions and configure the
card at BCH using the SCSI command to set the desired parameters. Then,
boot the vPars Monitor.
For vPars A.04.xx and A.05.01, please use the mptconfig command. For
information on mptconfig, see the Ultra320 SCSI Support Guide or the
support guide for your card.
