Hi !.

In our lab we have octane 2 with IRIX 6.5. We are unable to boot into the system. We are getting following error after "Power-on Diagnostics".

Quote:

Internal SCSI Device/Cable Diagnostic Failed *FAILED*
External SCSI Device/Cable Diagnostic Failed *FAILED*

Check or replace : Disk, Floppy, CDROM, or SCSI Cable.
Diagnostics Failed
[ Press any key to continue. ]

After pressing 'enter', I get the menu(Start System, Install System Software, ...), when I Chose "Start System",

I get "Unrecovered Data block Error"(s) on following paths : /hw/node/xtalk/pci/0/scsi_ctrl/...

And then I get following Error

Quote:

PANIC: CPU 0 : Vfs_mountroot : no root found.
Reboot Started from CPU 0
CPU 0 rebooting

And no further response from the machine. I have following doubts.

Quote:

1. In case of complete Disk failure, How to check remaining disks Health from "Command Monitor"

2. If they are healthy can i install fresh IRIX on that Disk.

3. Is there any way to back up the current system, which fails even to enter "Single user" mode.

wishing your earnest reply,
kabees

Hi Mates, excuse me, I just abandoned the machine for some time. I took the machine today. And eventually i checked the thread. Wow !. I wondered at the response. Thanks for the contributors.

I will try all possible options, and keep the thread updated.

thanking u,
