Re: -SYSTEM-F-CTRLERR, fatal controller error
The message
-SYSTEM-F-CTRLERR, fatal controller error
Probably indicates a hardawre error.
Saludos.

Re: -SYSTEM-F-CTRLERR, fatal controller error
I'm afraid the disk is gone. A CTRLERR indicates in 99% of the cases a hardware problem. I hope you have a backup (no pun intended).
Although, I can still "set def" to that directory --- but I can not view the content of that disk.
For SET DEFAULT, the device & directory do not have to exist. SET DEFAULT only sets some defaults for file parsing.

Kris (aka Qkcl)

Re: -SYSTEM-F-CTRLERR, fatal controller error
Hi Dan,
Thanks for the reply.
Is this problem related to controller of the disk or the entire disk?
If its the problem with controller only then how can one replace the controller? what is the process of the same?
And if there is issue with disk, what one supposed to do?
Regards
Gaurav

Re: -SYSTEM-F-CTRLERR, fatal controller error
Disks are "smart" in that SCSI disks have their own controllers to manage the device requests. This is different from the IO controller to which the disks are connected. You have an ES47 which has disk controller cards in it. These are what I am calling the IO controllers. Each disk has its own PC board attached which is its own disk controller.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Re: -SYSTEM-F-CTRLERR, fatal controller error
CTRLERR means >>controller error<< in contrast to DEVERR >>device error<<. So in case of CTRLERR the SCSI controller has a "problem". This could be because the SCSI bus is incorrectly configured (assuming it is really an "internal" disk drive and no fibre) or, the controller board has a failure .
Was something changed on the SCSI bus? SCSI bus termination? Any other device hooked up to that bus section?
The errorlog would have a bit more about what the controller's problem is.

Re: -SYSTEM-F-CTRLERR, fatal controller error
"Is this problem related to controller of the disk or the entire disk?"
Who knows?
Do you have hardware support with HP for this device? If so, log a job with them and problem is solved.
"If its the problem with controller only then how can one replace the controller? what is the process of the same?
And if there is issue with disk, what one supposed to do?"
If you don't have hardware support with HP then probably the cheapest approach is replace the disk, then if it still doesn't work, replace the controller (assuming it's not an on-board controller).
Cheers,
Mark
