MPT Fusion LSI22320 , Domain validation loops .

[Mr. James W. Laferriere]

 	Hello All ,  I am have been having this problem since I purchased the 
controller and after changing out the disks I thought were the problem .
 	I am still getting the continous :

mptscsih: ioc1: attempting task abort! (sc=f7a64500)
scsi 3:0:4:0:
         command: Inquiry: 12 00 00 00 60 00
mptbase: Initiating ioc1 recovery
mptscsih: ioc1: task abort: SUCCESS (sc=f7a64500)
  target3:0:4: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
  target3:0:4: Domain Validation skipping write tests
  target3:0:4: Ending Domain Validation
  target3:0:4: asynchronous
  target3:0:5: Beginning Domain Validation
mptscsih: ioc0: attempting target reset! (sc=f7a64380)

 	The acutual device id's change and the driver continously resets the 
busses & starts all over .

 	The disks are in a HP DS-SL13R-BA 4354R 14drive ultra3 racKmount cabinet 
w/ dualbus & dualps ,  Which seems to present a ID6 ,  That does not show up in 
any of the bus scans .

 	Now I have previously had the same cabinet with 18gb disks which had the 
same problem with this controller .  BUT I also have a LSI Logic / Symbios 
Logic 53c1010 66MHz Ultra3 dual SCSI bus Adapter which works flawlessly with the 
18gb disks in this very same cabinet .
 	The cables for connecting the adapter(s) to tha cabinet are less than 24 
inches in length .

 	Would anyone please shed some light on what it is I am doing wrong or 
need to do or ....?  Too have this controller recognise these disk drives in 
this cabinet .

Here is the WHOLE enchalada .  Too big to put on the list so I posted them to my webpage .

There is a seperate mailing list for scsi releated issues, e.g.
linux-scsi@.   I've posted a patch to address your issue several times,
however it seems its not been picked up by the scsi subsystem
maintainer.   The last time it was posted was here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=117089244809072&w=2   An alternative is
you could obtain our latest drivers from the LSI download site, where
these drivers should have this patch
http://www.lsilogic.com/cm/DownloadSearch.do.

 	Hello Eric ,  Fyi ,  linux-2.6.21-rc4 + mpt-fusion(*) patches from 
Andrew Morton's patch tree .  Still gives me the ever looping reset .  But I 
have just found sometrhing of interest one of the Powersuplies in the cabiinet 
'May be' failing .  I have to test that to be satisfied that is the case .
 	I'll report back soon on the PS & please look into this .  There is no 
reason for the driver to keep a system in loop over a failing drive set .
