Hi All, We have a SUN server on which we installed rhel3 update 5, the scsi driver installed on the machine is mptlinux-2.06.18-1. We faced a problem which led the system to hang and freeze. After rebooting the system we found the below in /var/log/messages: Aug 5 19:33:01 safrtcg3 kernel: mptscsih: ioc0: id=2 OldAbort: scheduling ABORT SCSI IO (sc=f739e800) Aug 5 19:33:01 safrtcg3 kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 503116624, scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 Write (10) 00 00 59 50 87 00 00 08 00 Aug 5 19:33:01 safrtcg3 kernel: mptscsih: ioc0: id=2 OldAbort: scheduling ABORT SCSI IO (sc=f739b400) Aug 5 19:33:01 safrtcg3 kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 503116626, scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 Write (10) 00 01 68 51 f7 00 00 10 00 Aug 5 19:33:01 safrtcg3 kernel: mptscsih: ioc0: id=2 OldAbort: scheduling ABORT SCSI IO (sc=f739f400) Aug 5 19:33:01 safrtcg3 kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 503116628, scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 Write (10) 00 01 68 52 27 00 00 08 00 Aug 5 19:33:01 safrtcg3 kernel: mptscsih: ioc0: id=2 OldAbort: scheduling ABORT SCSI IO (sc=f739ae00) Aug 5 19:33:01 safrtcg3 kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 503116427) timed out - resetting Aug 5 19:33:01 safrtcg3 kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
