At 8h12 AM, I have the following errors on Alpha2:

ALPHA2$PEA0 Port has CLOSED Virtual Circuit.

ALPHA2$PKE0 SCSI Bus Reset Detected / Asynch Bus Reset in Int Fork

And after: Device error on DKA1 and DKA7


Important: Diskeeper run on this cluster

> ALPHA2$PKE0 SCSI Bus Reset Detected / Asynch Bus Reset in Int Fork

That reminds me of a multiple-day debug session on a 2-node cluster with V7.3. Turned out that there was a termination problem on the SCSI bus and one of the nodes decided to freeze when too many bus resets occured.

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

Had some Aplhastations in hang when bad blocks were found on the system disk. Shadowing should be standard ...

Btw : next time put your text in an enclosure.
Btw2 : use extention .txt because me (and probably others) can't open all extentions because of security rules.

Hi.

I hink that the first action to make is to execute a tunning of system.

You must modify SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT, replace

Dominique,

In addition to the recommendation to tune your system with AUTOGEN, if I were you I'd seriously consider updating the firmware to V6.9 or later. The firmware you're running is many versions behind and there may have been some significant fixes in the interim.

I'm not saying that I think this is necessarily related to your problem, but it could be.

Thank you for your answers. For execute the various actions (Update firmware, autogen...) I must plan an intervention one Saturday with the customer. I you recontact afterwards.

Cordialy,
Dominique

Hello

I was looking in your modparams and now i am confused.

To my opinion the alloclass parameter in the modparams.dat file should be 3 and not 1.

Because the disks are $3$dke mentioned and not $1$dke.

I think VMS handles the disk now through MSCP instead off directly connecting through your scsi interface.

Maybe this is why you have problems.

Rinkens,

Not necessarily. They probably defined a port allocation class :

It is a controller-based allocation class:

> dke1.0.0.9.0 $3$DKE1 HSZ70 V77Z

Uwe .

Yes :-)
