SCSI Bus Analyzer
This service aid allows you to diagnose a SCSI bus problem in a freelance mode.
To use this service aid, the user should understand how a SCSI bus works. Use this
service aid when the diagnostics cannot communicate with anything on the SCSI bus
and cannot isolate the problem. Normally the procedure for finding a problem on the
SCSI bus with this service aid is to start with a single device attached, ensure that it
is working, then start adding additional devices and cables to the bus, ensuring that
each one works. This service aid works with any valid SCSI bus configuration.
The SCSI Bus Service Aid transmits a SCSI Inquiry command to a selectable SCSI
Address. The service aid then waits for a response. If no response is received
within a defined amount of time, the service aid displays a timeout message. If an
error occurs or a response is received, the service aid then displays one of the
following messages:
The service aid transmitted a SCSI Inquiry Command and received a valid
response back without any errors being detected.
The service aid transmitted a SCSI Inquiry Command and did not receive
any response or error status back.
The service aid transmitted a SCSI Inquiry Command and the adapter
indicated a SCSI bus error.
