Smart array 6404 gone rogue

[Tom Duffy]

Didn't that model have problems with the SCSI backplane (where
the drives plug in)?
It's a few years ago, so I may be remembering incorrectly, but
I had similar problems, first tried swapping
the controller for a known good one, and it still happened.
Looked up the serial number and found the back plane was one
of the bad ones.  Got a replacement board on ebay and the unit
came back to life for a few months until I retired it because of
fan issues.

Hi,

I'd suggest a phisycal inspection of the controller, cables and the
backplane. However It's a really old system and it's possible for the
ctrl to simply fail after so many years of service.

Andras

Has anyone ever experienced the behavior where the RAID controller

Could this be a failure of the controller board or some other hardware

System is DL380 g4 running FreeBSD 7

Thanks,
