%IOGEN-E-LOADERR, error configuring device SRA0, driver SYS$SRDRIVER.EXE

Hello all,

Got this error message when doing mcr sysman io autoconf/log on OpenVMS 8.3 Alpha on a ES45:

$
$ mcr sysman io autoconf /log
%SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node ISLA21
%IOGEN-I-PREFIX, searching for ICBM with prefix SYS$
%IOGEN-I-PREFIX, searching for ICBM with prefix DECW$
%IOGEN-I-SCSIPOLL, scanning for devices through SCSI port PKA0
%IOGEN-E-LOADERR, error configuring device SRA0, driver SYS$SRDRIVER.EXE
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found
%IOGEN-I-FIBREPOLL, scanning for devices through FIBRE port PGA0
%IOGEN-I-FIBREPOLL, scanning for devices through FIBRE port PGB0
$
$
SYS$SRDRIVER.EXE is nowhere to be found on the systemdisk. SRDRIVER is mentioned in SYS$CONFIG.DAT 3 times for serial line devices.

Patch VMS83A-UPDATE V2.0 is installed.

Whats the impact of this and how can I solve it?
Thnx, Jan.

SRdriver is a serial line 16450/16550 uart console driver, only used on IA64 systems. It is not supplied nor used on Alpha.

Ignore it.

Hello Jan,

I just found out that this happens on V8.3, but not on V7.3-2.

We have a (test-) cluster of two identical DS25 systems, one running V7.3-2 and the other V8.3.

While I do not know what the root cause of this problem is (the SYS$SRDRIVER.EXE image does not exist on V7.3-2 as well), the work-around is to do IO SET EXCLUDE=SRA* in SYSMAN.

HTH,

Bart

Its clear to me now. No SRA0 on ES45.
Thanks Jur & Bart!
