New SCSI Drive in Netware 4.11

by joshg . Updated 25 years, 2 months ago

We recently had a failed mirror drive in our external Kingston DataSilo attached to a Compaq Server. The DataSilo is connected via Wide SCSI. In the Silo there were two 2GB Quantum 50 pin SCSI drives, then an externally connected HP SureStor tape drive. When I replaced the failed 2GB drive with a Western Digital Vantage 9.1GB Ultra SCSI 68 pin using an adapter, the server recognizes all of the drives. When Netware loads however the compaq disk drivers fail to load when it finds the WD drive. Then when ArcServe runs it fails to load becuse the PFC detected an error.

Any clues? I have to unplug the 9.1GB drive to get the server to continue to function properly, leaving no mirror. There are no SCIS ID conflicts and the external Tapedrive is terminated. The adapter that I used to go from 68pin to 50pin was an active terminator. Do I need a different adapter or maybe updated Compaq disk drivers?
