- Sorry about the posting with no message - Finger trouble !! Now here's
- what I meant to post :
-
- I have got a problem on a VS2000 that I have narrowed down to
- the RD54 in the system. I think the final answer to my question will be
- replace/reformat the drive, depending on how severe it is, _but_ I wonder
- if anyone out there has encountered this problem before and may know a
- 'majic' fix to get me out of the mire.
-
- Problem :
- System does POST routines ok.
- System loads Cold boot track and signs on with appropriate VMS message.
- System then gives error message :
- '%SYSTEM-I-MOUNTVER _DUA0: is offline. Mount Verification in progress.'
- The disk unit then appears to perform a 'seek'-'reset' sequence and keeps
- on doing this at about 4 second intervals with a little 'normal' disk
- activity in between. The sound it issues is just like an end to end seek.
- Nothing furthur happens.
-
- I have run TEST 71 and it completes with an OK message except that it
- reports Cylinder 458, Surface 12 sectors 0-15 in a table headed
- VSmsv_STS_NBBpos. The OBB count is 106 and the NBB is 15.
-
- I _think_ this means the disk is.., how does one say,
- 'not-healthy'(otherwise &^%@ed).
-
- As ever this is a donated machine, which was donated without all the
- manuals and tapes !!
-
- If anyone has any idea how I might get round this then please mail me and
- if anything interesting comes up I will summarize.
-
- Thanks
-
- Mike.
