SUMMARY: SCSI controller error message?



Hello,

My original message is attached bellow. I thought I had a problem on a SCSI controller but actually it was an error on a disk. Many people suggested me that the disk was bad and that I had to replace it but the real problem was a single bad block on the /usr partition. I booted on single user mode, I used scu(8) utility:

/sbin/scu -f /dev/rdisk/dsk1g

to find the bad blocks (verify scu command) and then reassign that blocks (reassign scu command). Then I verified again and no blocks were bad. Then I restarted and everything now is fine (well perhaps the reassigned block will provoke a future problem but minor I would think).

 I owe this solution to Alan Rollow <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
but I thanks to all the people that replied me quickly and gently:

----------------------------------------- Hello Managers,

Due to a power failure an alphaserver 4100 with tru64 unix 5.1 is not booting anymore. When it arrives to the moment of mounting /usr (this is an advfs filesystem in the usr_domain) it displays a lot of messages of error, including these ones:

 cam_logger: SCSI event packet
 cam_logger: bus 1 target 0 lun 0
 ...
 ...

 DEC RZ1CB-CA (C) DECLYJ0
 Active CCB a time of error
 CCB request completed with an error
 Error, abnormal or exception
 MEDIUM ERROR: unrecoverable
 ...
 ...

 PANIC ADVFS filesystem...
 ...

Well, I would like to know if these is actually a hardware problem? AFAIK RZ1CB-CA is a SCSI controller, is this correct? can I fix it or should I replace it?
Any help will be very appreciated.
