Dear managers,
I have an Alpha 2100 4/233 running DU 3.2b. This machine has a kzpsc
raid controller. I have 8 rz29-vw on channel 0 and 1 and they are
configured as raid 0+1. I have 5 rz29-vw on channel 3 and it is
configured as raid five. Over the weekend I changed the 8 on channel 0
and 1 to raid five with 7 drives in the set and one hot spare. I tried
to init these drives and the init failed twice, after 8 and 9 hours of
processing. Digital came down and changed the kzpsc and upgraded the
firmware from 2.19 to 2.42. I initiallize the drives and this time they
failed after 11 hours of processing.
I am afraid that the drive array would not init in the old configuration
either.
I am without a large volume on a mission critical application, meaning I
am in trouble.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Jeff
