Hello folks, I hate to waste band width, but I saw that someone posted the part numbers for a SCSI patch under HP-UX 7.0. I wrote them down, but know I've lost them. Could someone please send them to me? I have an HP 9000/370 running HP-UX 7.0, it has 1 SCSI optical drive and 1 SCSI optical jukebox (autochanger) that takes 2 SCSI address. I've been having problems with the jukebox losing mounts. If I do something really intensive to a mounted platter on the jukebox (like compress *, with about 200M of files to be compessed) I get "device busy" errors, then ls can't find . and so on. All I can do is unmount the platter and remount it. But I never get the compress to finish. Also after the "device busy" error, fsck usually always finds bad cylinders. Thanks for the help.

Although there are HP part numbers for the tape (5010-0574) and the documentation (5960-0181), these are used for internal purposes only, and are not orderable. These materials are being shipped with current C2212/13A disc drives and upgrade kits. You can obtain the patch electronically from your local HP support representative, or, if you have support services, from the Response Center. Ask for patch "S300/7.0/p107". If neither of thse avenues are available to you, let me know and we can make alternate arrangements. > I have an HP 9000/370 running HP-UX 7.0, it has 1 SCSI optical > drive and 1 SCSI optical jukebox (autochanger) that takes 2 > SCSI address. Actually, it takes 3 addresses. I hope you haven't configured two devices on the same address. The results could easily include the problems you report. > ...fsck usually always finds bad cylinders. Against the possibility that you are seeing actual media errors, another snippet of code you might like to have is an on-line sparing routine for physical blocks. Ask your rep for a copy of "scsi_spare". It is supplied as source code. If the rep doesn't have a copy, I can supply it. I could just email all this to you, but we in the factory don't like to send patches directly to customers without at least advising the account SE or CE, and I don't know who that is.
