|  | Hi,
After the error press GOLD W to see the error message. Quite likely you will 
find that one of the shared area directories does not have a logical 
defined. For example it might be trying to write into directories 
OA$SHARE200 to OA$SHARE300, but OA$SHARE250 is not defined.

|  | I've checked out each of the cluster nodes for OA$SHAR logicals 
and they all check out OK 
I've managed to find the error message which is
 %OA-W-RECORD_IO_ERROR, Error occurred while attempting to SHARE the record   
 -RMS-F-CHK, bucket format check failed for VBN = 1850401 
any ideas?
Thanks

    I've never seen it before, but here's what the System messages manual
    has to say:
    
    CHK, bucket format check failed for VBN = 'nnn'
    
    Facility: RMS
    
    Explanation: VMS RMS detected a corrupted bucket in an indexed file.
    The bucket address check or bucket checksum is incorrect.
    
    User Action: Reorganize the file, if possible; otherwise, re-create the
    file.
    
    				-oOo-
    
    As the error points to an indexed file, I guess the file concerned is
    the system DAF. Which DAF it is you will know from the logical name:
    
    If it it's OA$SHARAnnn then OA$SHARA:OA$DAF_A.DAT
    If it it's OA$SHARBnnn then OA$SHARA:OA$DAF_B.DAT etc.
    
    I suspect $anal/rms will show some errors.
    
    Then you will need to run the file recovery utility, which CSCs have. 
    
    When you have got the file back into order then examine your backup
    procedures very carefully. The common cause of corruption is sites that
    backup their DAFs with /ignore=interlock, and then find that when they
    restore the file that it has corruptions.
