835.0. "no FRU table entry found in _console-rpb" by CSC32::HUTMACHER () Wed Feb 05 1997 10:09

    hello, good morning
    
    we are getting calls here at the csc center on asrv1000a's running
    Dunix ver4.0b that get warning message on boot 
    
    no FRU table entry found in _console-rpb
    not creating a FRU table error log _packet
    
    i think this is related to the fru_table console param?
    
    should we be setting this to ON or OFF for: 
    
    asrv1000a with decevent V2.3 or newer?
    asrv1000a without decevent or older version?
    asrv1000  with decevent V2.3 or newer?
    asrv1000  without decevent or older version?
    if its set wrong will it not gather errlog info correctly for analysis?
    
    this is excerpt from 3.8 releasenotes
    
        1.1.3 FRU Table generation
    
              Generation of the V4 FRU table in the HWRPB is now
              supported. This is latent support for future DECevent
              V2.3 or greater with up to date knowledge base, not yet
              supported in UNIX V4.0B or VMS V7.1. A new non-volatile
              environment variable, "FRU_TABLE" can be used to enable
              ["ON"] this feature [by default it is "OFF".] e.g. >>> set
              fru_table ON
    
    any input appreciated jim hutmacher mvhs colorado csc 592-5561

     The as1000a supports building of a FRU table by using the
     fru_table (on,off) environment variable. You can set the
     fru_table on but you need AS1000a firmware off the 3.9CD
     at a minimum. You also need the Decevent 2.4 kit at least
     and you need Unix 4.0b also. Once you have all these items 
     you can build a valid fru table for the AS1000a.
