DUSYI FAILS AT CHECK READING

[TheCurious]

I have a problem with system backup
After a DUSYI, check reading always reports:

WAIT FOR CHECK READING OF RELOAD DIRECTORY
CHECKSUM ERROR IN FILE L001

HIMDP gives no events during the dump.
FTFCI:LIM=1 says it is OK
ALLOP does not report anything.

Tried RFEXI. No success.
Tried RFPUI in LIM1 ( DRDM, DRDH, DRDR, BUP). No success.

System is BC11, NIU + HDU7/2, 15 LIMs = 4 partitions on HDU


I have no ideas what to do...

Invalid rel needs to be formatted. You did not mentioned which REL is invalid. But this is the structure REL1 contains 11&12 and REL2 is 21&22.
Procedures: Let say REL1 is invalid(DUBDP).
BLEQI:EQU=1-0-XX-00; location of NIU.
FIMOE:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS12;
FIM0E:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS11;

I forgot, unblock the equ after IOSII.

 

[patcher]

Sorry another 1, FICRI 11&12.

Now I have a very interesting situation:
IOSII:NODE=SYSN,SIPOS=3,IODEV=SYSDISK1,SUBFS=SYSSUBFS11&SYSSUBFS12&SYSSUBFS21&SYSSUBFS22;
NOT ACCEPTED
ATA BUS
ALREADY INITIATED
( but I do not use ATA disk, I use SCSI disk!!)

If I try to remove unexisting ATA disk
IOSIE:NODE=SYSN,IODEV=SYSDISK1;
NOT ACCEPTED
SYSDISK1
DEVICE NOT EXIST


File structure is like this:

NIU board is:
ROF 137 5396 R3A
CAA 1580001 R14A

BC11 has Service pack 12

any ideas how to solve this ??

The Curious

 

[rfpui]

Try restart NIU board
RFBOI

or RFPUI:UNIT=NIP,LIM=1;

Which version of NIF you have?

 

[TheCurious]

Thanks RFPUI,

I already tried RFPUI of NIP and FIP, and RFBOI of NIU.
Nothing changed....Tried also with RFEXI,SFCEI.....

NIF is R14A

Hi
Do you have the cable between the niu and hdu plugged into the correct position.
The Niu has an ATA port that is never used.

 

[TheCurious]

Hi,

SCSI disk is properly connected to SCSI position on NIU.
ATA port on NIU is hidden by plastic cover, so there is no way to make a mistake. I have seen NIU boards without this cover only in early BC10 days...

Anyway, this is a software bug.




The Curious

 

[LME]

Hi
There is some good info at this link to check if NIU can see HDU7 using NIUX commands.
Although it refers to creating INL some of the NIUX
commands are relevant.

[patcher]

Can you give us IODDP and DUBDP print.

Do you have another HDU7 ?

 

[whosrdaddy]

your disk is no longer initiated!

change the IOSII slightly to have it work in BC12

IOSII:NODE=SYSN,IODEV=SYSDISK1,SIPOS=3,SUBFS=SYSSUBFS11&SYSSUBFS12&SYSSUBFS21&SYSSUBFS22,BTYPE=SCSI;

and then just follow the instructions patcher gave you

cheers

What You See Is What You Get

 

[TheCurious]

Thanks everybody,

To TSR9010461: I have tried with a spare disk, same thing happens

To whosrdaddy:
I am aware of the fact that disk is not initiated any more.

I have already tried with IOSII:BTYPE=SCSI,......;
No success

I have also tried to get rid of phantom ATA disk with
IOSIE:BTYPE=ATA,.....;
No success

I am thinking about the following solution:
1) Initiate extra NIU and some ports on it
2) Erase all EQU on old NIU
3) Erase the SYSN node
4) Erase the old NIU board
5) Assign NIU again
6) Assign SYSN again
7) Try to do IOSII......

Any suggestions?

The Curious

 

[whosrdaddy]

Now I have a very interesting situation:
IOSII:NODE=SYSN,SIPOS=3,IODEV=SYSDISK1,SUBFS=SYSSUBFS11&SYSSUBFS12&SYSSUBFS21&SYSSUBFS22;
NOT ACCEPTED
ATA BUS
ALREADY INITIATED
( but I do not use ATA disk, I use SCSI disk!!)

If I try to remove unexisting ATA disk
IOSIE:NODE=SYSN,IODEV=SYSDISK1;
NOT ACCEPTED
SYSDISK1
DEVICE NOT EXIST

the "ATA BUS" error is a standard error if you forget to specify the BTYPE parameter, so there's no "phantom" ata disk. if you say that IOSII fails, it means that there's a problem with your disk. can you printout the MD110 feedback of the IOSII command?

Hello thecurious, try what you are thinking. I will do the same thing. If still faulty, try to change NIU. We hope as you reinitiate SYSN node the software will reset all reload data for this node.

 

[tsr9010461]

Hi ! Curious
My system is BC11/SP11 and I am often formatting the HDU7. A similsr problem happened with me for Rel2. Commands which solved the problem are almost same as Patcher described.I use two HDUs. Runnig following cmd on existing HDU
BLEQI:EQU=1-0-60-0;
FIMOE:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS11;
FIMOE:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS21;
FIMOE:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS12;
FIMOE:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS22;
IOSIE:NODE=SYSN,IODEV=SYSDISK1;

Switching off the existing HDU. switching the SCSI cable to other HDU, switching it on and running following cmd.

IOSII:NODE=SYSN,IODEV=SYSDISK1,SIPOS=3,SUBFS=SYSSUBFS11&SYSSUBFS21;
IOSII:NODE=SYSN,IODEV=SYSDISK1,SIPOS=3,SUBFS=SYSSUBFS12&SYSSUBFS22;
FICRI:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS11,SIZE=64;

FICRI:SUBFS=SYSSUBFS21,SIZE=64;
