Hello all,
I have a disk problem. The setting is as follows: AlphaStation 200, dU 3.2C,
KZPAA SCSI-PCI card and a StorageWorks shelf. In the SW shelf there were
already three disks that behaved OK, I decided to slot in two more RZ29B-VA
while I was at it. I created the devices, and powercycled to make sure
everything was coming up (do I really need to do that?). Now the problem is I
cannot make an advfs domain on those new disks; dxadvfs doesn't recognize
them, and if I try to do it by hand with mkfdmn, the computer hangs and
eventually got tunnel vision (I never saw a computer *faint* before, this one
did). I should mention that it works perfectly fine to make ufs file systems
on the disk, mount, write and read.
Earlier, I had a problem with the KZPAA card that it and the disks would show
up at console level, but not after bootup. That was cured, for unknown reason,
but still, after upgrading firmware and upgrading to dU 3.2C.
Looking into the uerf-log I find this event related to the disk I was
toying with (I don't know if it is of any relevance):
