Couldn't query physical volume...continued

Please elaborate on finding out how you convert the bc number to a disk device. I see you have taken the time to do that already, but I would like to know the process for future references. Thanks again.

Is there any material I can read relating to disk failures and the errors that will be produced as a result.

I'm guessing this is a follow up...but I don't know where the original post was, so here goes:

Say you got a message in syslog ...lbolt dev 0x1f051400 .. how do you translate this device address to something you recognize.
1. - ignore the 0x
2. - Convert 1f (hex code) to decimal.
You can do this by using the any calculator. Set to hex and key in 1f then hit dec...this converts to 31. And you will note under /dev/dsk that they are 31, so you know it's a disk. A tape would /dev/rmt would be CD in hex and 205 in dec.
3. - 05 is the instance number
4. - 1 is the target address
5. - 4 is the device number/LUN
6. - ignore those last 2 zeroes...

So....0x1f051400 would be c5t1d4

Hope this is what your wanting .. you can read more on this man disk and Configuring HP-UX for Peripherals
