Good day everyone, I'm having somewhat of a problem discovering the cause
of some error messages I'm seeing in our output from uerf.
The system in question is an AlphaServer 2100 4/200 running Digital Unix
3.0B, and the TZ87 is attached to the 2100's onboard SCSI, along with a
TLZ06, and an RRD43.
On what appears to be a weekly basis, I'm seeing a number of error messages
from the TZ87. The uerf output claims that they are all recoverable errors,
but I tend to be suspicious about any errors that I see in this file.
Before I include a sample from uerf, I will say that I have checked all my
cron jobs, and although the errors are occurring during a backup to the
TZ87, the same job runs without error to the same drive for the other 6
nights a week. (-:
Here's a sample from uerf, any insight or suggestions would be appreciated:
uerf version 4.2-011 (122)
