Hallo,
A customer of us got TZ877 and MRU 1.1, and tried to work with it.
He found the following misbehaviour:
First all commands are working, but then, after mounting a tape,
the show robot command came back with error messages:
I asked him to switch on verbose and creating a log, and here is the
result:
[SYS0.SEPNETBCK] $ def mru_log lerr.log
[SYS0.SEPNETBCK] $ def mru_verbose 1
[SYS0.SEPNETBCK] $ @test
$ ROBOT show robot gka501: drive 0
DRIVE: 0 Empty
$ robot load robot gka501: DRIVE 0 slot 2
LOADING SLOT 2 into DRIVE 0 using ROBOT gka501:.
$ mount/over=id $tape1
%MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, S00043 mounted on _SMU00$MKA500:
$ dismount/nounload $tape1
$ ROBOT show robot gka501: drive 0
ROBOT gka501: is not responding: Robot communications error. SCSI
INQUIRY
failed
$ robot unload robot gka501: DRIVE 0 slot 2
UNLOAD DRIVE 0 into SLOT 2 using ROBOT gka501:.
$ exit
He is also reporting errors 3 errors on the tape device during the
above operation.
I will get the excerpt of the errorlog and will ask him to look
for the tape firmware.
kind regards
Volker

Show Robot and Unload follow the same basic path which can generate the Inquiry failed message. So, it looks like you have a timing problem. The /NOUNLOAD prevents the more serious timing problem, but have them wait a few seconds after the dismount before doing the show. | |||||
| 284.3 | upgrade to 6.2 fixed it! | MUNICH::REIN | How come holes in SWISS CHEESE?? | Mon Feb 10 1997 01:24 | 16 |
Hi,
the problem is quite obscure,
When I do first a "robot sho" command, all works,
the mount command does it also, but then, when doing a "sho robot"
command, we get a "scsi inquiry failed " and a scsi bus reset is done,
the "show robot" which is set up a 2nd time works properly!
Upgrading the system to VMS 6.2 fixed the problem!
SEP could test the problem on another 6.1 AXp machine with the same
result!
