533.0. "defrag HSJ40 stripeset seen strange symptom in log file" by HGOSPS::MICKWIDLAM () Thu Apr 24 1997 04:31

    I have a customer with DFO V2.2 on an Alpha V6.2-1H3 System. He tried
    to defrag a HSJ40 controller based stripset with full log. From the log
    file there were something strange:
    
    Begin defragmentation preprocessing phase:		24-APR-1997 .....
        OPEN	AREA_05:[]
    	OPEN	AREA_05:[]
    	OPEN	AREA_05:[]
    	OPEN	AREA_05:[]
    	OPEN	AREA_05:[]
    	OPEN	AREA_05:[]
    
    End file defragmentation preporocessing phase:	24-APR-1997 .....
    
        Statistics:
            Number of files preprocessed:		13
            Number of files defragmented:		10
    	    :
            :
    
    Begin file defragmentation/placement phase:		24-APR-1997 .....
        OPEN	AREA_05:[]
    	OPEN	AREA_05:[]
    	OPEN	AREA_05:[]
    FID = (67, 1233, 0)  --  No such file!
    :
    :
    
    From the begin defragmentation preprocessing phase, normally we should
    see the filename for defrag, open and so on, but strange is the OPEN
    didn't show any file.
    
    The customer said that in normal disk (not stripped) are correct, also
    the stripeset on HSJ50 controller are correct. Only those in HSJ40 have
    problem.
    
    Is there anyone seem similar case?
    
    Thanks and regards,
    Mickwid.

533.1What version of HSJ40 firmware do you have?COOKIE::AMENDThu Apr 24 1997 14:1614

  I created a strip set and defragmented and I did not get any
  different log file.  Could you send me the complete log.  I was
  curious if it just did the open files or all files.

  I had the stripset on a
    Alpha 7.1 with the HSJ40 V27J
    VAX   6.2

  What version of HSJ40 firmware do you have?
  
  thanks

    re .1
    
    Customer don't see the problem again. From old log, the problem is not
    related to the HSJ40. There are other stripeset on the same controller
    didn't have same problem (he reported wrongly last time). I suggested
    him to analyze the disk and monitor if the disk got problem.
    
    Thanks,
    Mickwid.
