Well not exactly. Hardware: FIC2007,P100,32mb parity,onboard floppy,digi8e isa,atio,trident pci, SIIG scsi w/i91u driver, 540 conner@0, 540 conner@1 w/term, wangtek525@2 w/term external.
OS: 3.2.4.2 w/Y2 patch,edge 1.1.6,digi 3.2.3. Software AVS vet hospital package.
Everything loads correctly and works correctly inclulding application up to the point that I reconfigure the hardware to move the tape drive or change the tape drive(powered down of course). On the subsequent reboot the system can't find the ID1 hard drive so the application fails.
After 14 months of operation the system failed prior to monthend January with a tape error. System shutdown and wouldn't come back up. At that time it was a single drive system and the hard drive would identify in bios, was spinning, but wouldn't boot. Fdisk in dos reports that the dirve is not there. Went to the 2 drive config , everything loads and is working on the workbench except with ext tape, take to cust office and attach their archive 525 external. It fails. Rebuild system with ext Wangtek, everything works, shutdown and install internal wangtek, on reboot it upchucks drive 1.
This configuration works in 10 other locations. Worked there for 14 months. Appears that it removes the hard drive nodes for drive 1 when it fails but I haven't documented it yet.
Suggestions are welcome. Even SWAG but I may not accept it until I'm totally desperate which I'm about 4 loads short of being. Thanks. Ed Fair
