Troubleshooting

Using The Event Viewer

The Windows SCSI driver verifies the condition of the HBA POST. If there is a failure or a suspected failure, an error log entry is issued to the Windows Event log.

Following is the procedure for viewing the event log.

From the Main menu:

1.Double-click or choose the Administrative Tools program group.

2.Double-click or choose the Event Viewer.

3.Specify LPXNDS.

Note: You can find the source name in the SCSI device’s Disk Manager.

4.Double-click any event with the source name.

5.Change the data view from Bytes (default) to Words.

6.Examine the entry at offset 0x10: if the low byte = En, match the low byte with the error found in Table 5 on page 32, SCSI Port Error Log. Table 6 on page 34, and Table 7 on page 35 list CmdStat values and Parameter error values.
