[cobalt-users] RaQ XTR Bug/Fix List

[Cobalt <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

RaQ XTR will not boot/progress past setup
* Solution: RMA (only); electrical disturbance on the first
  production line (faulty/deffective).

RaQ XTR will not recognize extra drives for RAID array
* Solution: perform OS restore XTR with all drives present

RaQ XTR does not work with 4 memory modules:
* Solution: Unknown; temporary fix: limit RAM to placement
  in only 2 modules (possible later RMA/recall?).

RaQ XTR has re-occuring excessive CPU usage
* Solution: telnet in, run top, kill process manually
  (appears to be related to the GUI interface, ie:
  /usr/sbin/httpd -f /etc/admserv/conf/httpd.conf)

RaQ XTR has re-occuring RAID-1 and RAID-5 failures
* Solution: (?) 2.6.17 firmware update (unconfirmed). Any
  idea where to obtain this with detail instructions?

  To re-use any drives (which aren't faulty), you need to
  remove them, and run fdisk on them to earse any partition.
  *DO NOT* re-use without doing this, as it will screw up
  the RAID-1/5 arrays.

RaQ XTR has serial ports reversed in manual
* Solution: reverse diagram on page 237 of XTR manual

RaQ XTR PCI SCSI card isn't recognized
* Solution: unknown.

RaQ XTR has 250-site imposed limit (undocumented)
* /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Cobalt/Product_raq.pm,
  locate "$Site_Max" and change. Reboot server.

Please feel free to add to the (growing) list...
