I had an error on my SCSI bus that was not captured by the EMS hardware moniitors. Shouldn the scsi123_em monitor catch these errors?

If your system uses scsi1, scsi2, or scsi3 drivers, then the scsi123_em monitor should catch the SCSI bus errors. However, if your system only uses c700 or c720 drivers (WSIO I/O subsystem drivers), then no monitor can catch these errors. These drivers do not log errors through the diagnostic logging mechanism. In fact, none of the WSIO drivers log errors. So, since the scsi123 monitor can only generate events for errors that are logged by the driver, it can do nothing for devices that use c700 or c720 drivers. To see what drivers are used by your system, you can execute the command: ioscan -kf The SCSI Tape Monitor (dm_stape) logged an event that I cannot find in the Event Description web page.There is a problem with dm_stape in IPR 0003 (March 2000) and earlier versions of the diagnostics. The problem was fixed in June 2000 release (IPR 0006). The problem affects 37 events as follows: Events 701-716 all report as event 700 Events 801-805 all report as event 800 Events 901-903 all rep
