Dear Sun Managers:
A few days ago, I posted a query asking for greater information regarding the
particular type of failure we were experiencing with a Seagate Wren 7 SCSI
disk.
After a description of the problem, I asked the following questions:
Can anyone tell me what error code "0x44" means, where "IMPRIMIS"
suddenly came from, what element is the most likely culprit, or what
my best course of action would be now?
Several people indicated that "Imprimis" was the division of CDC which
originally made Wren drives and was later sold to Seagate. The reason
"Imprimis" now appears at boot time is that, since the disk label and its
information are no longer accessible, the SCSI "inquiry" command returns a
device-specific string from the disk controller. By analogy with other Wren
drives, Steve Jay believes that error "0x44" is an "internal controller
error".
I would like to thank
