Re: Invalid HWRPB Errors
it may be a question of the SCSI adapter configuration. There have been AlphaServers 800 around, which did work with V6.2-1H3.
If you have an integrated UltraSCSI controller, then you may need V7.1-1H1 or ALPSCSI patches for V6.2-1H3.

Re: Invalid HWRPB Errors
try a diagnostic boot and capture the output:
>>> b -fl 0,30000 DKC0
This should give very detailled information about the disk IOs of APB (Alpha Primary Bootstrap) trying to load SYSBOOT.EXE...

Re: Invalid HWRPB Errors
please find attached the full diagnostic boot output from an OpenVMS V6.2-1H3 successful load of SYSBOOT.EXE
Use it for reference to compare it with your failing boot.

Re: Invalid HWRPB Errors
please also note:
%ANALDISK-W-BADHEADER, file (6,7,1)
invalid file header
This is a very disturbing message ! FID (6,6,0) should be the File ID of VOLSET.SYS and it should NEVER change. Could this disk have been mounted into some volume set by operator error ?

Re: Invalid HWRPB Errors
I've analyzed the sequence of Boot QIOs when loading SYSBOOT.EXE. This will allow you to immediately diagnose, which boot QIO fails and which file or file hdr is corrupted:
%APB-I-BOOTVOL, Mounting boot volume
Boot QIO: LEN=0200 LBN=00000001 ! Home block
Boot QIO: LEN=0200 LBN=00049430 ! INDEXF.SYS File Hdr
Boot QIO: LEN=0200 LBN=00049433 ! 000000.DIR File Hdr
Boot QIO: LEN=2800 LBN=00000006 ! 000000.DIR contents
%APB-I-SYSROOT, System root is [SYS0.]
Boot QIO: LEN=0200 LBN=0004943A ! [000000]SYS0.DIR File Hdr
Boot QIO: LEN=0200 LBN=0004943A ! [000000]SYS0.DIR File Hdr
Boot QIO: LEN=0200 LBN=00064B30 ! [000000]SYS0.DIR contents
Boot QIO: LEN=0200 LBN=00049C81 ! [SYS0]SYSEXE.DIR File Hdr
Boot QIO: LEN=0200 LBN=00029610 ! [SYS0]SYSEXE.DIR contents
Boot QIO: LEN=0200 LBN=0004943B ! [SYS0]SYSCOMMON.DIR File Hdr
Boot QIO: LEN=0400 LBN=00064B42 ! [SYS0]SYSCOMMON.DIR contents
Boot QIO: LEN=0200 LBN=000495BE ! [SYS0.SYSCOMMON]SYSEXE.DIR File Hdr
Boot QIO: LEN=01E00 LBN=0006CEC4 ! [SYS0.SYSCOMMON]SYSEXE.DIR Contents
Boot QIO: LEN=0200 LBN=00049671 ! [SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE]SYSBOOT.EXE File Hdr
%APB-I-LOADFILE, Loading [SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE]SYSBOOT.EXE;1
Boot QIO: LEN=0200 LBN=000790A4 ! [SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE]SYSBOOT.EXE Image Hdr
Boot QIO: LEN=50A00 LBN=000790A6 ! [SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE]SYSBOOT.EXE contents
%APB-I-SECBOOT, Transferring to secondary bootstrap

Re: Invalid HWRPB Errors
what is the feasibility of building a DR on Charon-AXp?
Thanks,

Re: Invalid HWRPB Errors
using a CHARON-AXP for the DR site may work well. The CPU performance will even be better than with the older Alphas (e.g. AlphaServer 800 5/400). V6.2-1H3 is supported. You just need to check, if there are any 'unusual' interface cards in the existing Alpha - this would be unusual, but should be checked.

Re: Invalid HWRPB Errors
For the restore, it won't matter what version of VMS you run the restore with as long as the system is supported by it.
Steps for renaming the system will be found in the VMS FAQ which I'm sure is on Hoff's website. Disabling the live system's licenses is a case of running the LICENSE utility, same for reloading the DR system's own licenses.
If this doesn't work then the AlphaServer 800 really doesn't fulfil the needs of a DR system...

Re: Invalid HWRPB Errors
Charon option looks convincing.
Steve,
>>UltraSCSI patch installed on it?
How can I get details of patch?
Thanks,
Amaresh
