mptbase Code={Abort} (LSI SAS1068 PCI-X Fusion-MPT)

There is still one thing I do not understand. I have made a test -- I have connected three SATA hard drives directly to the controller using cable supplied with the controller. The error still occurred. Then I have changed the cable to the one supplied with other controller, as well as hard drives (but model was still the same) and the error message was still occurring.

I have changed controller (I have a few of them) but again, the problem still existed.

------------------------------

If anyone else can replicate these errors using Sebastian's setup above I would interested in hearing.

I have a case open with LSI but apparently my HBA is a "prototype" board and this is complicating things. I have had no indication whether they can replicate this issue or not.

If anyone else from LSI is on this list and can wade through SR# 2-209998499 I'd be interested in any suggestions. Time is running out for me and I will probably have to go with someone elses HBA.

Richard, those SR issues are not accessable by developers at LSI. Those are created by the tech support group, used internally within the
support group. The developers is what your going to find on the
linux-scsi@ forum, like me and Sathya. We are using clear case, which
is a different database. If you give me the contact name whom
assigned you that SR number, I will see what I can do.

Hi Eric,

Many thanks. Ken Stewart is the man to talk to, otherwise I can forward you some long, back and forth emails.

Regards,

Richard
