Good morning all,
I am having trouble getting a JAZ drive to work on a DEC 433au running
DUNIX 4.0c. The device is installed internally and is recognized by the
system:
---------------
rootrnf_» scu -f /dev/rrz21c

-----------------
I have vi'ed /etc/disktab to include the following lines:
-----------------
# jaz drive info from osf-managers list 18.jun.1998 rnf
#
jaz|IOMEGA Jaz 1GB drive:\
:ty=winchester:dt=SCSI:ns#3217:nt#1:nc#650:\
:oa#0:pa#2091050:ba#8192:fa#1024: \
:oc#0:pc#2091050:bc#8192:fc#1024:
#
-----------------
Attempts to use disklabel all have a result as below:
-----------------
rootrnf_» disklabel -r -w /dev/rrz21c jaz
jaz: unknown disk type
rootrnf_» disklabel -r -w /dev/rrz21c rz55
rz55: unknown disk type
rootrnf_» disklabel -r -w /dev/rrz21c rwz21
rwz21: unknown disk type
------------------
rz55 is a normal disk type from /etc/disktab and rwz21 is a removable
drive from /etc/disktab.
My first attempt to configure the disk was to use the disk configuration
GUI. I have used this for all previous disk installations (normal hard
disks) and it has worked well. The GUI responds with a message like:
------------------
This device has been physically removed, is experiencing a hardware
problem, or is not a random access read/write device. No information
available.
-------------------
I have also tried to use DEC's default mtools to read the 'tools disk'
that comes with the JAZ drive without success, but that's another story.
All comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
rich frank
