Previously I posted to comp.os.vms for help with getting a Hitachi DK516
drive to work with a VAXstation 3540. Unfortunately, this is an unusual
beast that uses a unique disk controller (i.e., it isn't a Q-bus or
BI-bus system), so there isn't a lot of experience on the net. Thanks to
those who responded, though!
Well, as it turns out, one of our DK516 drives has a later firmware
revision, and I can boot from it (in my previous posting, the boot proms
weren't dealing with the drive properly). Now I'm facing a different
problem.
I am seeing periodic (10-20 per day) errors logged on the drive. VMS
error logging says something about "EXTENDED SENSE DATA RECEIVED", but
is apparently recovering from it gracefully. We're not seeing any errors
reported by our applications.
Do any VMS or SCSI gurus have any suggestions as to what's going on?
