IBM PC730/PC750 - System hang performing multiple XCOPY routines in OS/2
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom :
IBM PC 700 Series 6875 or 6885 systems may exhibit a system hang condition while multiple sessions in OS/2 WARP 3.x are simultaneously using the XCOPY command to copy files from one directory to another on a SCSI hardfile.
Problem Isolation Aids :
When the failure occurs, the system must be powered off/on to recover.
IDE hardfiles are not affected.
Failure analysis indicated that the failure is more likely to occur on older, low capacity SCSI hardfiles such as 360MB drives.
Fix :
Use following two steps to eliminate this failure from occurring:
1) Change the following statement in the OS/2 WARP CONFIG.SYS file if present:
change from: BASEDEV=aic7870.add
change to: BASEDEV=aic7870.add /A:0 /TAG:1
2) Verify that the SCSI devices are properly terminated. Consult the users guide for the SCSI adapter and/or devices for proper termination procedures.
If the failure persists, continue normal problem determination to isolate the failing part or application.
