We have a 3.2 server with several scsi drives ranging from 8gb to 73gb
attached to an Adaptec 29100S. The server has 512mb of memory.

I have two 73gb drives attached to the wide cable, the rest are on the
narrow cable. Ever since installing the two 73gb drives, I have had
intermittent disconnect errors on the drive being written to. I have been
able to get the system working again, by trying various methods -
disconnect/reconnect, reformat, low-level verify, etc.

However, I am now not successful in doing this. Netware sees both drives,
sees both partitions, but will only see one volume at a time (both drives
are single volumes) - I can disconnect one & Netware sees the other volume
fine & vice-versa. I have tried different controllers, cables, & hard drive
brands with no success. Therfore, I now suspect a Netware problem.

If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate any help.

Clyde

Thx for the heads up. That should be 29160.

That is 140G of *additional* volume space there -- that is a lot for a 3.12
server with 512M of memory -- how much total volume space are you supporting
here.

That controller is one of the newer brand if memory serves -- so it might well
be a compatibility issue -- increasingly you may run into this with newer
hardware and what is essentially, a 10 year old OS.

Which different controllers have you tried here. Frankly, something like an
older AHA-2940UW (not U2W) might be a good approach to separate that variable
out.

Also, what sort of mix/match of hard drives are going on here?

Hi

According to the Adaptec install guide, they recommend that you do NOT mix
the different type of devices so that may be the problem.
