Hot Fix turned off on drive nn (volume VOLUMENAME)
Occurs on: SFT I, SFT II, TTS.
Meaning: This message indicates that SFT NetWare Level I Hot Fix
has been turned off on drive number nn which contains
the volume named VOLUMENAME. Although this is not a
fatal error and it will not halt the server, the file
server will not boot up the next time that it is reset
unless the problem is taken care of. The problem
should be investigated as soon as possible to reduce
the risk of losing valuable data.
Cause: This message indicates that the disk redirection area
that Hot Fix uses has become full and Hot Fix is no
longer able to operate. This can be verified by using
the DISK console command. This message will also be
displayed if Hot Fix fails 10 times in a row to
correctly write and verify a block of data that it is
attempting to redirect. This indicates severe
read/write problems with the disk drive.
Solution: A filled disk redirection area usually indicates that
the disk drive is having problems and should be
repaired or replaced. Hot Fix can be reactivated if the
disk redirection area is enlarged by using the PREPARE
utility. This is especially pertinent if the
redirection area was originally created smaller than
normal (the default size is approximately 2 percent of
the total disk capacity). Unless the redirection area
was extremely small, enlarging it should be considered
only a temporary solution until the drive can be
replaced.
If the disk redirection area is not full, then Hot Fix
was turned off due to the failure of Hot Fix to
correctly write and verify 10 times in a row. This
indicates severe problems with the disk and/or channel.
The disk, controller, Disk Coprocessor board and all
cables associated with the failed drive should be
checked. After replacing the faulty components,
COMPSURFing the disk drive may be necessary before
reactivating Hot Fix and restoring backed up files.
