Description Martin Peschke 2004-10-05 11:55:49 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

Description of problem:
This devices supports large and sparse LUNs. The INQUIRY data reported is:

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
  Vendor: IBM      Model: 1722-600         Rev: 0610
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 03

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to attach LUNS of IBM FAStT600.

Actual Results:  Only LUN 0 is scanned successfully.

Expected Results:  All LUNs should be detected.

Additional info:

Similar issue as reported for other device in bz 106392.

Comment 1 Tom Coughlan 2004-10-05 14:39:55 UTC
Martin,

I assume that any Model: 1722* will support large and sparse LUNs. Okay?

Does this device have any parallel SCSI ports, and if so, do they
support packetized SCSI? There are some buggy drivers that are probing
large LUNs on non-packetized SCSI. Turning on SPARSELUNs enables this
bug.  Just checking.

Tom

Comment 2 Martin Peschke 2004-10-05 15:44:16 UTC
Tom,

can't acknowledge the 1722* assumption for the time being. I have
scanned data sheets of other FAStT models that we don't have available
in our lab. They do not explicitely state what the INQUIRY data is.
But there are indications that it deviates from 1722*. Besides, I am
not yet sure what else might be sold as 1722* by IBM. It would be best
to stick to 1722-600 and to add other entries or modify this entry as
we learn more about it. I have contacted a storage guy at IBM. Hope to
get more information this way. I will relay your SPI related
questions. My current understanding is that FAStT only attaches via
FC, while it internally holds either FC or S-ATA devices.   -martin

Comment 3 Georg Markgraf 2004-10-06 08:09:59 UTC
Here is the information regarding the other FAStT models from FAStT 
land.
Hope that is the right format or can be transformed as such ? 

DS4300    (formerly FAStT600)
Vendor: IBM      Model: 1722-600         Rev: 0610


DS4400    (formerly FAStT700)
Vendor: IBM      Model: 1742		     Rev: 0520



DS4500    (formerly FAStT900)
Vendor: IBM      Model: 1742-900         Rev: 0520



DS4100 (Formerly FAStT100)
Vendor: IBM      Model: 1724-100         Rev: 0542



Comment 4 Georg Markgraf 2004-10-06 08:14:06 UTC
this is actually impacting our device qualifiacations 
I see the need to change the priority to high to enable test to 
progress and met targets  Would you please help as only reporter or 
owner can do that ? 
Thanks Georg  

Comment 5 Georg Markgraf 2004-10-06 08:24:19 UTC
Arnold, Peter, added you to cc: 

Martin the bug 130874 seems to report the same problem.
Again this is not a normal, but high Priority bug, as test is blocked 
and cannot meet targets 

Comment 6 Martin Peschke 2004-10-06 11:53:49 UTC
Well, lets close one of the bugs as duplicate, then. Though 130874 is
older, I suggest to close it, because this bz covers a more complete
set of FAStT models.

answers from Brian J. Countryman at IBM

> I assume that any Model: 1722* will support large and sparse LUNs. Okay?

Yes

> Does this device have any parallel SCSI ports

No

*** Bug 130874 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 9 Ernie Petrides 2004-10-19 03:22:13 UTC
A fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U4
patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-22.EL).


Comment 10 Martin Peschke 2004-10-20 14:29:34 UTC
Ernie, could you attach RH's patch, please?

I double-checked with Brian Countryman (IBM). He got back to me with
another FAStT box (FAStT600 SCU single controller unit):

Vendor: IBM      Model: 1722-F60LR

Comment 11 Tom Coughlan 2004-10-20 15:53:07 UTC
The patch is attached. Any model beginning with "1722" will match.
