Hi,
A customer has installed a RWZ52 on OVMS V6.2 (OSDS V3.3).
The installation was successful (I have verified using
LASERWARE_IVP ). The optical disk can be read OK, but written only small
files ( about 150 blocks).
When we try to write bigger files, sometime it seems to be hang (the
activity's LED keeps on blinking, but there seem be no activity sound
from the disk and it stops there, we have to force the system reboot).
Sometime, It comes out with some massages:
%SYSTEM-I-MOUNTVER, HG$DKA0: is offline. Mount verification in progress
%%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 25-APR-1997 12:43 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%
DEVICE HG$DKA0: is offline.
Mount verification is in progress.
%COPY-E-WRITEERR, error writing ODA0:[000000]temp.gro;2
%SYSTEM-I-MOUNTVER, HG$DKA0: has completed mount verification.
-RMS-F-WER, File write error.
-SYSTEM-F-TIMEOUT , device timeout
Above massages come out when I try to copy a file named temp.gro from DKA0
to ODA0 ( This is the optical device). HG is name of the system This file
is 500 blocks.
I do not really know what happens, how come the DKA0 becomes offline....
If anyone can help ?
This is ugent, please help ASAP.
Thanks in advance,
Son.

| 827.1 | provide system info please | TAPE::SENEKER | Head banging causes brain mush | Fri Apr 25 1997 10:40 | 7 |
It sounds like you have the system disk and the optical on the same
SCSI bus but to let us understand what your environment is, please
describe the system configuration, such as system type, number of
SCSI buses, other SCSI devices on the bus, Alpha or VAX, cluster or
non-cluster, the type of media being used, etc.

| 827.3 | upgrade first, then IPMT if still broken | TAPE::SENEKER | Head banging causes brain mush | Mon Apr 28 1997 10:59 | 13 |
Son,
It sounds like the interaction between optical disk and the system
disk are causing problems on the SCSI bus. I recommend that you
upgrade the OSDS software to V3.4 and retest. If that doesn't
correct the problem, log an IPMT case against the OSDS product.
If you log an IPMT case, I will need the information you included in
.0 and .2 plus any VMS patches applied and a sample command file that
will generate the errors. Also, please execute a $ANAL/SYS and do a
SHOW DEV PK. Include the name of the driver.

Also, you will need to give a complete physical description of the
configuration, including all bus segments, tabletop boxes, and
terminators.
