2089.0. "Can't reserve - SCSI reservation failure" by QCAV02::SANAND () Wed May 28 1997 03:38

Hi everybody,

We have an AlphaServer 2100 cluster at one of Ineternet Service Providers
running Digital Unix V3.2D and DECSafe ASE V1.3 and Internet AlphaServer kit 
V2.0 running on top of it.

At times we get 'Can't Reserve - SCSI Reservation failure' error
and the ASE services fail to relocate. The only remedy to this error
is to run 'scu' and manually reserve the device.

The disks are mounted on HSZ40 running HSOF version 2.7

Any help/pointers are most welcome.

Thanks and best regards

2.7 is pretty old...I suggest you get upto V3.0Z-3 or V3.1 asap

what OS patches?

what ASE patches?

If this is a customer problem, you better file an IPMT.

More data would be good...
