Dear,
Since some time I get I/O errors on a Digital Alpha/AXP 600/266 station. It
started with a crash due to a read error on the rz0. Later these errors
occured also on other SCSI devices such as a DAT and an external harddisk
connected to the system. It's only now that I've been able to bring the
system down completely due to a crash (this is a compute server, people are
counting on it).
Below are some entries from the log files related to the problem:
Jan 16 10:21:33 salma vmunix: Hard Error Detected
Jan 16 10:21:33 salma vmunix: DEC RZ28M
Jan 16 10:21:33 salma vmunix: Active CCB at time of error
Jan 16 10:21:33 salma vmunix: CCB request completed with an error
Jan 16 10:21:33 salma vmunix: Error, exception, or abnormal condition
Jan 16 10:21:33 salma vmunix: MEDIUM ERROR - Nonrecoverable medium error
This was on rz0:
Jan 16 10:21:31 salma vmunix: rz0 at scsi0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 (DEC
RZ28M
(C) DEC 0466)
This is the error generating todays crash:

Feb 17 11:42:12 salma vmunix: read error = 5
Below are console messages generated while doing a vdump on DAT (external):
vdump: unable to read file

a>; [5] I/O error
vdump: unable to write to device </dev/rmt0h>; [5] I/O error
: do you want to retry? n
On the partition the problems occured first ADVFS has been installed.
I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction:
hardware/software...
Many thanks in advance,
