Electric Tech schrijft dat Adaptec een kleine hoeveelheid RAID controllers terug heeft geroepen nadat er problemen waren geconstateerd met de SCSI chips van QLogic. De betreffende SCSI chips konden foute informatie zenden naar de RAID chip, die op zijn beurt partitie errors en syteem crashes konden veroorzaken:
Defective SCSI chips from QLogic Corp. have resulted in a limited recall of Adaptec Inc. controllers for redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID) storage. Adaptec today announced the recall, saying that errors were discovered in QLogic's 12160A SCSI devices, which were used in DPT SmartRAID Decade VI Ultra160 SCSI controller shipped prior to May.
The recall affects up to 2,500 RAID controllers, according to Adaptec, which acquired the DPT product line late last year when it bought privately-held Distributed Processing Technology (DPT) in Maitland, Fla.
The flawed SCSI chips could send incorrect information to the RAID system controller, which then can hang up the bus or cause parity errors, according to Bob Schultz, chief operating officer at Adaptec in Milpitas.
