HSZ50 problem

Willem Grooters — Sun, 11 Dec 2005 17:09:16 GMT

The documentation didn't get me on track, so I have to ask here:
Single HSZ50 + chache, 2 BA356 shelves packed with disk. HSOF 5.7 (latest, I'm told)
I could add and initialize single disks, mirrorsets, raidsets and stripesets, but whenever I tried ADD UNIT it keep telling me:

Error 1140: Invalid unit number. Valid unit number range(s) are:

and that's it. No range(s) shown. No matter if the unit consists on a single disk, mirror, raid- or stripeset.

SHOW UNITS says: No LUNs

What did I miss?

(Reminder: there is just ONE controller, so SHOW OTHER will have no effect.

Willem,

The valid unit numbers are dependent on the controller's setting for scsi id. Example: SET THIS_CONTROLLER ID = (0,1,2,3) , you can use up to four scsi addresses not used by hosts. Setting the "controller id" as in the above example allows you to add units 0-7, 100-107, 200-207, 300-307.

On the controller "run cfmenu". This tends to give you a better look at what is available for configuration.

Found SET THIS_CONTROLLER ID= - hinted so by someone else (OpenVMS forum)
