RE: 9337, 6501, E45 config troubles

["Carley, Neil" <carleyn1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

The B600 6952 src refers to a problem with the IO controller card. Try
changing the 6501 to a different SPD slot, then IPL to DST and check to see
what cards and disks you can see, also check the logs for any failing items.
Connect the 9337 array to port 1(lower) on the 6501 card and the 68pin
terminator to port 2 on the 9337 array.

Neil
