- Sounds like you are trying to A/D/R the system disk from the SYSTEM
- account...
-
- Analyze/Disk/Repair uses needs to use SYS$SCRATCH to do a sort as
- specified in the first line of the error message (I believe that it
- is using the the callable SORT routines). Normally, SYS$SCRATCH is
- defined as SYS$LOGIN - if this is on the same disk you are attempting
- to repair you get the error message because A/D/R has taken out a
- lock on the volume.
-
- The solution is to define SYS$SCRATCH to point to another disk on your
- system or in your cluster:
-
- $ define sys$scratch otherdisk:[000000]
- $ analyze/disk/repair sys$sysdevice:
-
- would work just fine (where OTHERDISK might be the logical name of another
- disk on the system/cluster).
-
- If you have only a 1-disk system and the network is enabled, then
- you can re-define sys$scratch to use another node
-
- $ define sys$scratch anode::
- $ analyze/disk/repair sys$sysdevice:
-
- where you either have a proxy login to the other node (ANODE) or
- you have the default FAL$SERVER account enabled for default file
- access over there.
-
- Doing either of these should fix your problems.
