The Question is: Can't boot system, get mount verification errors and error message 007282EC. Is this hardware or software related? The Answer is :
The particular hardware (disk, controller, system, etc) involved
was not specified. Nor what has changed with this configuration
since this last worked -- if this has ever worked before, of course.
$ exit %x007282EC
%MOUNT-F-BADSECSYS, failed to create or access SECURITY.SYS
$
Whether this is a hardware or a software problem is unclear. This
could simply be a disk that is full, or this could be a hardware or
software problem that prevents writing to the disk, or this could be
a corrupted disk structure. The mount verification errors would tend
to imply a hardware problem.
Try MOUNT/OVERRIDE=SECURITY of the target disk, while booted from
the CD-ROM installation media -- the installation menu system can
permit you access to DCL, where you can access other disks.
While using the menu, you will likely want to make a current/new
BACKUP of the (potentially corrupted) target disk.
$ HELP/MESSAGE BADSECSYS
BADSECSYS, failed to create or access SECURITY.SYS
Facility: MOUNT, Mount Utility
Explanation: The Mount utility was unable to create and write the
SECURITY.SYS file on a volume that was initialized prior to
OpenVMS Version 6.0, usually because the device is full.
User Action: Try any of the following actions:
o Mount the device using the /NOWRITE qualifier.
o Mount the device with /OVERRIDE=SECURITY if the security
policy of the system permits this. Once the disk is
mounted, free up approximately 10 blocks on the disk, and
then remount the disk without using the /OVERRIDE=SECURITY
qualifier.
o Mount the device on a version of OpenVMS prior to Version
6.0 and free up about 10 blocks on the disk. Then remount
the disk on the later version of the system.
