6375.0. "dilog/sq706a and rz28-va" by ATZIS3::BARTEN () Thu Feb 06 1997 03:40

    
    
    Hey,
    
    
    Need some help by connecting two RZ28M-VA to a Dilog SQ706A Controller.
    
    Customer has an Q-Bus system were I installed a Dilog SQ706A Controller
    - BA353 exp. Box - RZ28M-VA.
    
    Everything worked fine. Now I tried to connect a second RZ28M-VA into
    the BA353.
    Connected a VT-Terminal to the SQ706A first and configured the
    SCSI-Unit for the second disk.
    
    At Console-Prompt (KA650 V5.3 VMB 2.7) >>> sho device showup with DUB0
    + DUB1.
    
    Booting or Mounting a RZ other than SCSI-ID=0 didn't work.
    Booting DUB1 shows with "Transaction result is unknown".
    
    Mounting under VMS (V5.4-2) gives errorlog entry: Invalid command
                                                      Invalid msg length
    
    
    Can somebody helps me with this problem/configuration??
    
    
    
    Thanks
    
    Rene

	What do the suppliers of the Dilog controller say? Have they configured a system similarly? /a

	Supplier of tha Dilog-Controller is unknown. Custumer got's it for free without any Manual (Installed by trying) Rene

	Considering Dilog seems to be out of business, it may be a little hard to figure out what is going on.... Chris

	It still doesn't seem to me that this should be down to DEC to fix!
6375.5	Replace This With Digital-Supported Hardware...	XDELTA::HOFFMAN	Steve, OpenVMS Engineering	`Fri Feb 07 1997 08:12`	7
	: Can somebody helps me with this problem/configuration?? Depending on which Q-bus system is involved, you'll need an HSDxx, or an HSDxx and a KFQSA. Given the KA650 CPU reference, you'll need both, as this CPU does not have integrated DSSI.) There is no other Digital-supported way to `directly connect' SCSI disks to a Q-bus.
