| 5763.1 | no ideas, pointers, or clues? | LEDER1::BENDEL | | Wed Mar 05 1997 06:10 | 7 |
| nobody has any ideas on how I can recover from this? Seems reinstalling
NT is not the best way, but could be done.
If there is a better forum for this (storage???) I'd appreciate a
suggestion around that too.
help guys....:) Steve

Steve,
It appears no one has any ideas, so I hope you are pursuing answers
via official channels.
Good luck,
/Bill

I'm taking a shot in the dark on this one... When I have used
SWXCR for RAID (haven't used them for JBOD), one of the unit
numbers, scsi(?) or rdisk(?) or something (I forget), is listed
as 8, not as 0 as I would have expected. So even though you
didn't change anything from a hardware standpoint, maybe changing
from JBOD to RAID did cause something to happen. Go into your
hardware setup and make sure that the numbers are what they
should be.

Oh yeah, the 8 is correct. Don't change it back to zero. That
might not have been clear from my previous response.

| 5763.5 | Hardware Problem? | QCAV01::VARUN | | Mon Apr 21 1997 06:47 | 14 |
| Hi,
I was just reading this,and I remembered this benchmark we conducted
for an Alpha Server 4100,with a KZPSC(4MB Cache),and 6*2GB,RAID5 with
1+5 HDD;with the one extra disk on the BA356 used as the OS disk.
We had a problem in rebooting,but this was a Hardware Problem...
we had a KZPSA controller card in the machine along with the KZPSC
card. We were able to boot normally,once the KZPSA was removed,and then
the KZPSC installed. Post installation of the KZPSC,the KZPSA could
be added. I am not sure if this is helpful,as I'm not sure of the
KZPBA...just thought,this might be helpful?
regards,
Varun

| 5763.6 | .0 should have said KZPDA (not KZPSA) | LEDER1::BENDEL | | Tue Apr 22 1997 07:58 | 4 |
| in the base note...KZPBA should have been KZPDA...sorry :)
and thanks.for adding to the string..you can never have too much info
about peoples experiences with controllers....

| 5763.7 | compare os selection setup with disk... | KOKY::PEREZ | | Wed Apr 23 1997 08:30 | 8 |
| Since this is a 4100, when alphabios comes up go to HARD DIKS SETUP and
look at the disk number that the SWXCR disk 8 has (i.e. DISK 1, 2, etc)
The go to the Utilities Menu, OS selection Setup and see if the disk
number matches the want the that the boot partition is located at. You
can, while in the OS Selection Setup us F9 to validate your boot
partition. If it doesn't change it and validate again. Remember that if
you ADD disk controllers this may change your boot partition number
depending on which slot the new disk controller was installed.
