I need some help in deciphering a uerf entry. This showed up on an
8200 on 3.2d-1 after a tape drive had an error. Once this happened the
tape drive could not be accessed and a "file" command on any device
special file in /dev would hang the process. An someone explain what
this entry is trying to tell me and if it might be related to not being
to touch any devices with the file command? Any help appreciated
Thanks in advance,

| 1164.1 | The Device at ID 5 quit responding to commands | CSC32::B_HIBBERT | When in doubt, PANIC | Tue Apr 08 1997 10:49 | 13 |
Hi Doug,
It look like the device at SCSI id 5 on bus 1 quit responding to the
system. I assume this is the tape drive that had the error.
If this is the tape drive, I would look at the tape errors that you
said occured before this event and consider replacing the drive. If
this is not the tape drive, then the device is still suspect, but I
would also consider the possibility that some other device on the bus
or a configuration problem may have caused a bus hang.

| 1164.2 | other busses on kftia had same problem | CSC32::KLIMAS | Tue Apr 08 1997 15:13 | 12 | |
Thanks for the reply. I thought it might be something like that but
just wanted clarification. I did not want to put in too much detail
but the only other strange thing was the tape drive is on a separate
dwzza off of a kftia and we could not issue a file command on the
devices attached to the other dwzza's off the kftia module either. A
reboot seems to have fixed it, as I expected, but I don't know what
would cause the file command to hang on the other buses too.
Thanks again for your previous response.
Doug
