I have this drive dka300 labeled as disk19 keep on mounting after a reboot even though I had replaced with a new drive dga19 labeled as disk19 in SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM. I had search the entire SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM and for the old dka300 and find nothing for it. So, when the old drive mounted first, which caused a conflict with the label name.
Where else can this mystery drive hidden and why can't I find it??
Version VMS 7.3-2 on ES45 server.
Please help!! I am going nuts trying to find this dka300 disk device.
Thank you in advance.
Jorge

SolutionYou can log the entire boot by setting the sysgen-parameter STARTUP_P2 = "VDC"
$ MC SYSMAN STARTUP SET OPTION/VERIFY/OUTPUT=FILE/CHECKPOINTING
The next boot will create the logfile SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.LOG
Then you can search the logfile for the MOUNT-command.

Re: Mystery drive keep showing up after reboot
Maybe in some other command procedure.
What does
$ sea *.com dka300
say?

Re: Mystery drive keep showing up after reboot
Have you watched the system boot sequence to look at what time the mount happens?
If nothing helps, you need to search through all disks, e.g.
$ search sys$sysdevice:[000000...]*.com; dka300

... and if you need to go there, then you should also look for any DEFINE of a name for DKA300.
You just MIGHT have to repeat the search sequence for any such name.
I HAVE been to a site that had about a dozen names defined for some of the disks, which then were used in, eh, "rather creative" ways.
Just in case...
Prooost.
Have one on me.

Re: Mystery drive keep showing up after reboot
guessing what you have. You do a "SHOW DEVICE" and a DKA300 is listed as mounted (system?) with a label of DISK19. But you think there should be no DKA300 on your SCSI bus?
Then you see a new DGA19 mounted (system?) with a label of DISK19? So this is a Fibre Channel connected disk? And DKA300 and DGA19 are both mounted and have the same label?
Is this node in a cluster? Or standalone?

Re: Mystery drive keep showing up after reboot
Is it possible that the dka300 drive once held pagefiles or swapfiles?
If so, the mount might have been included in SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSMGR]SYPAGSWPFILES.COM, which executes before the startup gets to SYSTARTUP_VMS. This allows page and swapfiles to be installed very early in the startup procedure, particularly if they are not on the system disk.
Dave.

Re: Mystery drive keep showing up after reboot
I will continue to look through the pagefile com procedure and "define" procedures if I can find it.
Thanks you all for great suggestions.
Oh by the way, this is a standalone server.
Thank you!!
