[comp.unix.wizards] UDA50 on VAX 11/730

michaele@vice.ICO.TEK.COM (Michael Enkelis) (02/28/90)

I am trying to configure a UDA-50 + RA80 disk drive into my
VAX 11/730 system.  Everything seems ok on boot up,
but within 24 hours i get the following messages and the system is hung.

Any ideas on jumper setting on UDA? or card placement in exp box.

We had a similar trouble here, only running System V R2.2 on a VAX 730.
The problem was not with switch settings, but was a trouble with the
physical drive. I think its call the maintenance folks time (sorry to say)

This message is quite correct. There is only switch settings for the csr,
not the vectore ( as in other old DEC products ). The csr HAS to be
correct otherwise the system wouldn't even get this far, and the vector
address is downloaded to the board.


By the way, we retired the VAX 730.

These are, in order:

	sdi command timeout drive error (soft)
	ctlr detected protocol drive error (soft)
	ctlr detected protocol drive error (hard)

This indicates a problem in the controller (uda50 or equivalent), drive,
or cabling between the two.

Convert to 4.3BSD-tahoe; you will get a much better UDA/RA driver.
