308.0. "Message out of range on a robot show drive." by CX3PST::BSS::SAUL () Thu Mar 27 1997 15:15

Hi,

I have a configuration of 4 TL820s in a multi-lsm environment.  On a robot show
drive we get...

	Message out of range for type 1355432: 2132691368.

But goes ahead and shows all 12 drives.  Have we seen this before?  Thanks.

	One of the I18N message routines got called with a message
	type of 1355432, which isn't used and a message number of
	2132691368, which also isn't used.  Either you stumbled upon
	a bug for some message or have a very sick system.

	What version of MRU are you running?
308.2SSDEVO::ROLLOWDr. File System's Home for Wayward Inodes.Thu Mar 27 1997 22:306
	The operating system and version would also be useful.  If
	UNIX, is LANG defined?  Since the robot has 12 drives, when
	you say "multi-lsm" I assume you MUSL (multi-unit, single
	LUN).  The values of other MRU_ logical/environment variables
	might also be useful.  Finally, just to see if the robot 
	if the robot appears well behaved, the output of "robot show robot".
308.3More Information....CX3PST::BSS::SAULFri Mar 28 1997 10:0736
Sorry, should have given you more information.   This is a Alpha Server 8400 running
VMS 6.2-1h3.  MRU is version 1.1.  I believe MUSL is the correct term here.  Its 4
TL820's tied together and we access it through $5$DUA999.  Since these configurations
are rather new, I'd expect this may be a bug that has never been run into before.

	We help qualify the MUSL code, so it isn't a bug there.  Since
	the other things work fine, my first guess is that MRU is trying
	to write the messages to the log, failing and then printing an
	error for that which is using bad arguments to the I18N code.
	As a quick check, deassign MRU_LOG and retry the commands.  If
	the message doesn't appear that will help me narrow it down
	quickly.

	Also, check that log file is writeable.  And if doesn't exist
	create it.  We should have, but that may be a sufficient work-
	around.

Sure enough, the log file directory did not exist.  I created it and the error
went away.  Thanks for your help.

	By virtue of my putting an "OP:MED" on this note, we'll fix it
	in V1.2.  If the customer would like it fixed before then, submit
	an IPMT case.

    Well, V1.2 will have the fix and it was certainly a stupid bug...
    I was using the wrong message (out_of_range) for an fopen failure
    (correct message was cant_open).
