Servers - Windows NT traps on RAID servers

Applicable to: World-Wide

Abstract :
WindowsNT Traps on RAID Servers

Symptom :
Windows NT traps to the blue screen while running the the System Information Tool with any version of Netfinity.

Problem Isolation Aids :
The trap may occur on any IBM PC Server running any version of Netfinity and Windows NT with the following IBM RAID adapters:

F/W Streaming MCA RAID Adapter FRU p/n92F0335 (Opt. p/n none)
F/W Streaming MCA RAID Adapter FRU p/n06H3059 (Opt. p/n70G9263)
F/W Streaming PCI RAID Adapter FRU p/n06H5078 (Opt. p/n94G2764)
F/W Server 704 PCI RAID Adapter FRU p/n75H9011 (Opt. p/n94G5884)

Note: This symptom has not been observed on the ServeRAID adapter FRU p/n06H9334 (Opt. p/n70G8489).

Fix :
Download the latest RAID Option Diskette and install the RAID device driver following the procedure in the README file.

For MCA RAID adapters: IBM Fast/Wide Streaming RAID Adapter/A Option Diskette 2 of 2 V2.31 or later

For PCI RAID adapter: PCI Fast/Wide Streaming RAID Adapter (FRU p/n06H5078) Option Diskette V2.02 or later

Note: For Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0, install the device driver IBM960NT.SYS, dated 12-17-96 or later, from the NT35 subdirectory.

Temporary Work-around:
For PC Server 704 RAID systems with the F/W Server 704 PCI RAID Adapter FRU p/n75H9011 (Option p/n94G5884):

1. Rename the file SINGDASD.DLL to SINGDASD.OLD in the WNETFIN subdirectory.

2. Run the Netfinity System Information Tool several times to make certain the Trap condition has been corrected.

This action will remove the RAID System and SCSI System icons from the Netfinity System Information view.

The RAID Manager icon will still be available for monitoring the RAID Subsystem.

The F/W Server 704 PCI RAID Adapter device drivers are currently in test. This RETAIN tip will be updated when they are available.
