Fsys.sym8scsi

Hello,

we have QNX application which use for data archiving DAT-drive.
( We use HewlettPackard DAT-drives with Adaptec AHA-2940
SCSI adapters without problems (driver Fsys.aha7scsi) ).

But now I test new SCSI controller “TEKRAM DC-390F” with
“Symbios 53C875” chip (driver Fsys.sym8scsi).

Sometimes everything look OK , DAT-drive load tape and
write data.
But sometimes DAT-drive load tape and then stop working.
I noticed that LED on SCSI adapter is still shining.

I tried DAT-drive only under QNX. I put tape to drive.
DAT-drive load tape. Then I run “tape bot”.
Sometimes hapenned that after this command LED on
SCSI host adapter is still shining.

If I try again “tape bot” an error occured.
(tape:ERROR Unable to Open /dev/tp0 , errno is
“Resource temporarily unavailable”)
or “tape” utility cannot finish.
I send sin,sin arg, sin ver

Same problem I have with “TEKRAM DC-390U2B” SCSI
controller which has “Symbios 53C895” chip.

Is it hardware or software problem ?
Has anybody experience with using this SCSI adapter.
Can anybody help me? I will be very grateful.

Hi David,

Is there a reason you pass the -A option to Fsys?

Fsys: -A Don’t update access time if nothing else changed.
With this option, Fsys is not POSIX conforming!

If you don’t need this option, try to remove it from the Fsys command.

Let me know if it works.

Sometimes hapenned that after this command LED on
SCSI host adapter is still shining.

If I try again “tape bot” an error occured.
(tape:ERROR Unable to Open /dev/tp0 , errno is
“Resource temporarily unavailable”)
or “tape” utility cannot finish.
I send sin,sin arg, sin ver

Same problem I have with “TEKRAM DC-390U2B” SCSI
controller which has “Symbios 53C895” chip.

Is it hardware or software problem ?
Has anybody experience with using this SCSI adapter.
Can anybody help me? I will be very grateful.

Hello Donald,

Thank you for your answer,

I tried to change Fsys parameters, as you wrote
but problem still persist.
