Re: OpenVMS 8.4 $ BACKUP/LOG DISK:[TEST...] MGA0:TEST.BCK/SAVE not working
HP Server rx2660 OVMS 8.3-1H1 (INTEG1) has an external SAS connector with the SAS controller integrated on motherboard
HP Server rx2800 OVMS 8.4 (INTEG2) has SAS on mother board too but no external connectors. For that we got a PCI controler card P812/1GB 6GB 4-P EXT PCIe with 2 external connectors, one connecting our tape drive type HP Ultrium LTO4 1840
on the quick specs of that PCI card the tape drives are said to be not supported with the initial release;
what ever initial release in this context means :-)
Conclusion:
It still does not run our BACKUP properly

Re: OpenVMS 8.4 $ BACKUP/LOG DISK:[TEST...] MGA0:TEST.BCK/SAVE not working
Check SPOCK to see if that combination of rx2800 i2 server, interface card and tape drive is supported.
I know SPOCK is not always up to date but you have start somewhere. Then contact HP or the reseller who sold you it.
Purely Personal Opinion

Re: OpenVMS 8.4 $ BACKUP/LOG DISK:[TEST...] MGA0:TEST.BCK/SAVE not working
Well my helpers, I landed in SPOCK at
http://h20272.www2.hp.com/Index.aspx?lang=EN&cc=EN&hpappid=hppcf#goconnect_hardware
and went down the nice matrix.
my tape is HP Ultrium 1840 and my server is rx2800i2 which has a SAS on bord but no external connectors.
from the matrix it looks as if the tape is supported - at least it is green :-)
but is it supported too if the PCI interface "am311a" (SAS controller) is inbetween motherboard and tape-drive?
I cant find that PCI card on the matrix. !!!

Re: OpenVMS 8.4 $ BACKUP/LOG DISK:[TEST...] MGA0:TEST.BCK/SAVE not working
Volker,
I know the mount message is missing, but it has mounted it foreign, for shure it has.
I was just unable to scroll back that much. If you whish I can repet all? No problem.
AND to the length of the volume header, as you said, 80 bytes, I have no influence, do I?
At least the tape.log attached shows all what was dumpt by the command.
IA64-2>DUMP $2$MGA0: /BLOCK=COUNT:5/OUTPUT=tape.log
I am at SPOCK right now, and I can not see that OpenVMS is supported with that configuration.
Maybe SPOCK is wrong, as the one said leading me there.

Re: OpenVMS 8.4 $ BACKUP/LOG DISK:[TEST...] MGA0:TEST.BCK/SAVE not working
Sepp,
you need to check the OpenVMS I64 V8.4 SPD, if such a tape drive is really supported behind a 'HP Integrity Smart Array P812/1GB 6Gb 4-p Ext PCIe SAS controller'. The latest QuickSpecs for this controller only lists HP-UX and Windows as supported operating systems.
INIT write 80 bytes to the tape for a VOL1 headers, has always done it and it's not going to change. If DUMP now reads more bytes from the tape, this is a problem. And most likely a configuration/hardware one.
Volker.

Re: OpenVMS 8.4 $ BACKUP/LOG DISK:[TEST...] MGA0:TEST.BCK/SAVE not working
I agree with you 100%
We will check with HP this configuration
Thanks to everybody - I will let you all know here the outcome!

Re: OpenVMS 8.4 $ BACKUP/LOG DISK:[TEST...] MGA0:TEST.BCK/SAVE not working
Sepp,
backup sets up a 90-byte buffer for reading the VOL1 header and EXPLICITLY checks the IO status block for 80 bytes being returned from the QIO and returns BACKUP$_NOTANSI, if that check fails.
So no reason to complain about OpenVMS I64 V8.4 yet...
Volker.
