Hi,

I have MicroVAX 4500 running VAX/VMS v5.5.  The systems disks are connected to a BA440 cabinet.

The disks are 'single' member DSSI shadow sets.

The system hung after a message, similar to the following. was displayed on the  console :

Shadow set state has changed.  Volume processing in progress.

We had to halt the system and reboot then all was fine.

Can you please let me know :

1. What situations or events can cause this.
2. What troubleshooting/prevention steps can be taken.

Many thnks,
