How about doing a reset-all then tyring the probe-scsi Al ________________________________ From: ken jones [mailto:kjones@ziplink.net] Sent: Mon 3/19/2007 6:03 PM To: Ritacco, Alan Subject: Re: [Wlug] Problems with a Sparc ULTRA1 It kills the box. The little note tells me that if I did a "stop a" that I must do a reset. But the reset kills the system and starts the boot process again which I can only stop with a "stop a" I have not been able to figure out how to do the probe-scsi... Thanks for your quick response.
