Description
On the nPartition-able servers, using the vparutil command to configure
an Ultra2 or Ultra160 SCSI card can cause the virtual partition that owns
the SCSI card to fail to boot.
Symptoms
On the nPartition-able servers, the virtual partition connected to an Ultra2
or Ultra160 SCSI boot device fails to boot after the SCSI card was
configured using the vparutil command.
Workaround
For vPars A.03, bring down all the virtual partitions and configure the card
at BCH using the SCSI command to set the desired parameters. Then, boot
the vPars Monitor.
For vPars A.04, please use the mptutil command. For information on
mptutil, see the Ultra320 SCSI Support Guide or the support guide
for your card.
