    What are the serial numbers on the drives. IBM replaced a bunch of ours
    because they had been identified as defective?

    We have 2104 disk array (two 2635 adapters and 9GB X 14 HD) which
    connect to
    2498 (4-channel Utlra 3 RAID adapter) on AIX box. the 2104 configure
    as two
    RAID5 (6X 9GB) with two hot spare HD.

    Recently, it happen "SCSI_ARRAY_ERR6" and "SCSI_ARRAY_ERR9" errors on
    log
    file. If I use "smit pdam" tried to list all dirves. It show RAID5
    "dead"
    and all drives "failed". I discussed with IBM software support and
    tried
    to find out which hardware have problem (2635 or 2498). He told me is
    hard
    to said from error logs.

    I did check 2635 and 2498. There is NO amber light up. One of 2635
    "reset"
    light sometime blinking.
    Due to we don't have hardware support. Does anyone know how to check
    which
    adapter card is failed?

    Thanks.
