Hi,
TL810
kfpsa
hsd30
alpha running V6.2 of VMS
SLS V2.8 ECO 2
SMF V1.2
I have a customer who is setting up SMF. He is getting invalid
scratch pool errors when trying to do a copy as follows:
rms-f-wer
system-f-ivpool
We have verified that tapestart has the correct triplets. We have
verified that the volumes have the correct pools as well as the correct
media type and density and are free. We have verified that he has
authorized SMF in the pool authorization (in fact he had authorized
SMFS and I had him then add an SMF as well to be associated with that
pool). We have set thedevice to recognize the correct scratch pool
through smf. Also did a 'smf set file' using that pool as well. We
can do a storage select and storage load using media type successfully.
We even tried to set the MXX2 device to indicate the correct
media_type, scratch_pool, etc to noavail.
Do you have any ideas as to what could be causing this error?
It appears everything is set up as expected. He is concerned about the
KFPSA maybe not being supported under V1.2 of SMF and that possibly
this is causing the problem.
Thanks,
Victoria

SS$_IVPOOL is returned by SMF if and only if an MDMS service returns
SLS$_BADPOOL.
MDMS returns SLS$_BADPOOL if and only if the pool authorization check
fails during a media allocation attempt.
Please check the pool authorization again, ensuring that:
1) SLSMGR is being run on the MDMS database node for the node running
SMF.
2) The pool has entries for username "SMFS" (note that SMFS _is_ the
correct username) for each node (not cluster aliases) which may need
access to the pool through SMF.
To test outside of SMF, try
$ STORAGE ALLOCATE <media-type> /USER=SMFS /POOL=<pool-name>
I don't expect that the KFPSA will be a problem, but it most certainly
is not causing this problem, as we're still trying to allocate a tape
and haven't gotten anywhere near the data or robot control paths.

Hi Dan,
Went and verified that the SLSMGR pool authorization was correctly set.
It was. Had him go into sysgen and check the scsnode name. It was
correct. Then had him go into NCP and do a 'show exec char'. It
returned a 0. At that point he told me he could not 'set host 0' nor
could he set host to the nodename - OSCAR1.
I logged a call for him with the DECNET team to straighten that mess
out. Once done, he will call me back should he encounter further
problems.
Thanks for the quick response.
