All disks report optimal, controller reports optimal. I know the hangs you mean, from the vm swapin etc which holds all the locks. I don't think this is they. with ahd i would get scsi sense errors in the log for machines with problems [CRC errors etc], i don't have a for what asr does in this case. ran a 96 hour memory test (memtest86), with ecc checking, there were no soft or hard errors. Ran machine to 40 degrees C ambient in environmental chamber, its all good. Its got 3 power supplies, all are operational, fed from UPS. This is a software problem somewhere I think. I'm curious, how many people use ASR with current? It seems like it might be somewhat unloved.Received on Wed Mar 24 2004 - 12:47:34 UTC
