The fix has tested successfully and is now on the OpenVMS master pack.
We now in the final process of creating the patch kit. I don't yet

| 1776.5 | Same problem in Alphaserver 400 4/233 | BARNA::DSMAIL | | Tue Feb 18 1997 10:38 | 293 |
|
Hello:
We are having the same problems with the following scenario:
An alphaserver 400 with VMS 7.1 exhibits the system disk offline when the
startup does a MC SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE; after this comes online again and
boots normally. ONCE BOOTED IF WE DO THE MC SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE WORKS FINE.
CONFIGURATION: alphaserver 400 4/233
32 mb memory
2 x RZ26N-E
1 X TLZ09
1 X RRD45
The hardware has been reviewed and changed . Firmware update was done. After
several tests we had determine that the problem seems to be in the combination
RZ26-N, RRD45 and VMS 7.1.
With VMS 6.2-1h3 works fine.
The following test has done always without TLZ09.
When the disk goes offline we see that a reset in the scsi has produced. If we
try with other model of disk and without any RZ26N present in the bus, then
works fine. The RZ26N are firmware version 0616.
The customer has other systems equal but with RZ29B and works fine.
Do you think the patch will solve too the problem in this scenario.
Following is an entry of the errorlog that apparently demonstrates some
incompatibility between RZ26N (SCSI id 1) and the RRD45 (scsi id 4).

| 1776.7 | Is the patch out ? What's it called. | COMICS::SUMNERC | OpenVMS Counter Intelligence | Tue Mar 18 1997 02:57 | 12 |
| Hi,
I have a customer seeing (what I believe to be the same issue) with an
alphastation 255/300 and 7.1 (6.2-1h3 works fine).
Is the patch ready yet and if so, what's it call. It's taken me almost
4 hours to stumbl;e accross this note.
Thanks in advance,

Specifically who do we contact (and how) to get a fix for this

| 1776.9 | Alphastation 255, VMS 7.1, standalone backup | ATZIS1::DIETRICH_B | | Fri Apr 11 1997 11:38 | 29 |
| Hello,
I also want to give some aspects.
On newly delivered Alphastation 255 customer booted standalone VMS 7.1
from CD to make backup from tape to disk.
After beginning backup, mounted tape , SCSI-devices go offline.
Backup with 6.2-1H3 is O.K.
Revisions and devices:
original srm console 6.4-2
vms pal code 5.56-2
with FW CD 3.8 srm console 6.3-4
vms pal code 5.56-2
SCSI-devices RZ28-D rev 10
TLZ09 rev 167
RRD45 436
We'll test SCSI in SLOW mode as mentioned in .1, hope that helps
Thanks, Bernd Dietrich Austria

Still sounds like an illegal SCSI bus configuration/termination
problem.
