    Hello Sun Managers:

    I'm creating a mirror of the internal boot disk on a
    Sun 440 using the built-in hardware level RAID, but
    I receive the SCSI related errors below. Despite the
    errors, the raidctl output appears normal. I have the
    same behavior on four different 440's. Is this bad or
    safe to ignore?

    We're on Solaris 9 with the latest (as of 7/22/04) patch cluster.

    # raidctl -c c1t0d0 c1t1d0
    Volume 'c1t0d0' created

    # dmesg | grep 'Firmware version'

    BTW: Patch 115622 was referenced in sunsolve (not in relation to this specific
    issue,
    but it was raidctl related). Anyways, seems we have the latest version...

    # showrev -p | grep 115622
    Patch: 113434-17 Obsoletes: 113313-01, 113504-01, 113628-02, 113965-01,
    115622-01, 115597-02, 115699-02 Requires: 114482-01 Incompatibles:
    Packages: SUNWadmc, SUNWinst

    TIA for any assistance. I will post a summary.
