Greetings, listers.
Suddenly both FW800 ports on our G5 Dual 2.3 Xserve have gone
dumb.
Nothing mounts on them, although everything mounts on the front
FW400 port.
I think that the keylock will disable mounting of external drives.
Try unlocking and then reconnecting, unless of course you've
already
tried that.

If you have done that, I believe the next generic step would be a
PMU reset.
Someone feel free to correct me on that - I don't work on X-Serve
hardware
often.

I would suggest a cold power-down - remove AC power (both AC
power cords, if
the unit has a spare power supply :-)
A pmu reset is another step that should not be done "just because"
it's there,
while it shouldn't cause any harm it's not quite as easy to
accomplish on a G5
Xserve. We have yet to hear back about whether the keylock was
engaged, which
will prevent any drives not already mounted from mounting. I'd try
Arulchandran's step next, (disconnecting all FW devices as well).
