The Question is: I have some problem: I want to install additional SCSI disk drive on the VAX system model 100.The disk is 4.3GB manifactured from Qantum model XP34300W. Whene i run the system in console mode or boot operating system the disk is detected for example DKA100 ,but whene i can try to init the disk iread follow masege: Fatal drive error. Really first time i test the drive in Alpha station and then no problem. Can i format disk under VMS control,or must be added some patches. Than you The Answer is : There is no such system as a "VAX system model 100", and this will unfortunately mean that the OpenVMS Wizard will be entirely unable to provide a more specific answer to the question. Please see the OpenVMS FAQ for information on third-party disks, on maximum disk sizes permitted, on the maximum system disk size for certain and specific members of the MicroVAX and VAXstations eries. Please see the existing discussions of third-party storage here in Ask The Wizard as well. If you wish to try third-party storage, the OpenVMS Wizard would encourage you to use OpenVMS V6.2 or later, or (better) the current OpenVMS release. Drivers in more recent OpenVMS releases than you are running are far better at adapting to the many differences that can exist among various SCSI devices. (Also, with V6.2 and later, SCSI diagnostic tools -- such as SYS$ETC:SCSI_INFO -- were added.)
