PROBLEM: Disk error on ALPHA 2100, serial no. AY53411647
DESCRIPTION:
Machine Type AlphaServer 2100A 5/300 running VMS V6.2-1H3 in a VMScluster.
(HW Ver=04C700000000000000000018, SID=80000000, XSID=00000000)
Serial no. AY53411647
Disk RZ28M,RZ29B
PROBLEM:
1 All disks on the machine clocked one error early this morning. These disks
are connected to an HSZ40 controller on a Storageworks shelf. It looks like
the controller has reset itself and we don't know why.
I have included an extract from DIAGNOSE & FMU.
2 We recently upgraded the firmware on the HSZ40 controller and initialized
one of the disks with SAVE_CONFIGURATION. We are now getting this message
on the HSZ40:
"NVPM OEM information component initialized to default settings"
Can you explain what this message means?

You are getting a command timeout on a device on the hsz port, The
fmu information should have included a port target information,
although I didn't see it in your insert. Anytime a command timeout
occurs on the hsz port side, the hsz will reset that port, usually
all units on that port will report the reset. the error log
information is reporting that event, recommend you change that device.

| 888.2 | still wondering about error message | GIDDAY::HIRSHMAN | Hugged your Webmeister today? | Mon Jun 02 1997 01:32 | 10 |
There was no command timeout error and/or port target ID info in the
errorlog, so I'm not sure where that leaves me.
Also, do we need to do anything about the "NVPM OEM information
component initialized to default settings" error (informational??)
message or should the customer just do a CLEAR CLI and ignore it? What
does this message mean, anyway?
