More then 10 disks and disk error in event log KB923356

[Guest Puppethead@gmail.com]

HI All,

 

This is a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server SP2 and it is connected to

our SAN. It can see over 30 disks.

 

The event log shows:

 

Event Type: Error

Event Source: Disk

Event Category: None

Event ID: 11

Date: 7/6/2007

Time: 4:40:44 PM

User: N/A

Computer: DATASERVER

Description:

The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk2.

 

According to KB 923356 the drive number is truncated at the first

number. So \Device\Harddisk2. could be 2 or 20-29. We get this error

over and over but cannot tell which disk it is because of the

truncation. If we could find out what disk is making the errors we

might be able to continue trouble shooting the problem.

 

Does anyone know of a way to make the error return the whole disk #?

 

Thanks,

 

Allen

There's currently no way. This is supposed to be fixed in Longhorn

 

Only way to figure out which disk is triggering this would be to use LUN

masking and try removing disks one at a time.

John
