"mc sysman io auto" is not polling SCSI and FIBRE ports

[Hejib]

On a server with OpenVMS 7.3-1 when I try "mc sysman io auto" it does not poll SCSI and FIBRE ports. So cannot present disks from fibre connected HSG80 controller. Only reboot gets to see the new disks.

$mc sysman io auto/log shows

%SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node SMIV96
%IOGEN-I-PREFIX, searching for ICBM with prefix DECW$GRAPHICS_
%IOGEN-W-NOICBM, failed to find ICBM with prefix DECW$GRAPHICS_
%IOGEN-I-PREFIX, searching for ICBM with prefix SYS$
%IOGEN-W-NOICBM, failed to find ICBM with prefix SYS$
%IOGEN-I-PREFIX, searching for ICBM with prefix DECW$

On other server (with similar build) it goes ahead and does

%IOGEN-I-SCSIPOLL, scanning for devices through SCSI port PKA0
%IOGEN-I-FIBREPOLL, scanning for devices through FIBRE port PGA0
%IOGEN-I-FIBREPOLL, scanning for devices through FIBRE port PGB0
%IOGEN-I-FIBREPOLL, scanning for devices through FIBRE port PGC0
%IOGEN-I-SCSIPOLL, scanning for devices through SCSI port PKB0
%IOGEN-I-FIBREPOLL, scanning for devices through FIBRE port PGD0

Any idea what might be missing.

do both systems have same patches ?

[Jeff Chisholm]

You are executing this from the SYSTEM account, and/or have privs turned on, especially LOG_IO?

[Volker Halle]

Graham,

there seems to be some problem to look up the ICBM files (SYS$SHARE:*$ICBM*.EXE). The ICBM prefixes are stored in SYS$MANAGER:IOGEN$PREFIX.DAT.

Consider to enable $ SET WATCH FILE/CLASS=MAJOR before re-trying the SYSMAN IO AUTO command. You'll see file access failures this way. Turn it off with SET WATCH FILE/CLASS=NOMAJOR

ICBM = IOGEN Configuration Building Module

I wonder if we'll ever see ABM, MIRV, MAD, SLBM, or other cold war data structures?

We still have KGB$ and CIA$ ....

[Hejib]

Thanks for all your help guys. I am still stuck.
Volker, after doing "set watch" I don't see any errors coming up. Attached below is what I get

SMIV95:MGR> set watch file/class=major

[Volker Halle]

Graham,

you've reported the SYSMAN failures on node SMIV96. Your last example (without errors) has apparently been run on node SMIV95 ?!

Please run the SYSMN IO AUTO/LOG command again on node SMIV96 with set watch file/class=maj turned on.

Volker.

[Hejib]

Volker,
They are both in cluster. Here is output from SMIV96

Graham,

those nodes may be in the same cluster, but their SYS$MANAGER:IOGEN$PREFIX.DAT contents is different ! This file lives in the specific root for the system.

Could you temporarily move the IOGEN$PREFIX.DAT from SMIV95 to SMIV96 (to SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSMGR]) and see what happens ?

DECW$GRAPHICS_ seems to be the first entry in IOGEN$PREFIX.DAT on the 'failing' node.

Volker.
