I have a uVAX II running Ultrix 1.2 (no flames please). While doing a dump over the ethernet to an Exabyte on a SUN, I get the following message on the console uqssp0 being reset The system is hung and has to be rebooted. Backups are done daily but this only happens about once a week. Can someone give me a clue as to what this error message might mean. Thanks, Dave Axness Quantum Medical Systems, Inc.

The host expects to see activity from the disk controller within some timeout period. If there isn't any activity it resets the controller and prints the message mentioned. What should happen is that the controller wakes up and goes on doing work. Wha I've usually seen is that the controller never somes back, hence the hung system. It's almost certainly a hardware problem. UQSSP was the name of DSA protocol for talking to UNIBUS and Q-bus controllers. The U and Q are UNIBUS and Q-bus, the rest is Storage System Port. The controllers at the time of V1.2 that used UQSSP were the RQDX series, the UDA50, KDA50 and KDB50. The integral controller of the RC25 was also a UQSSP port. More recently the KDM70 was added to the family and the name changed to SSP since it had controllers on the VAXBI and XMI. > > Thanks, You're welcome. > > Dave Axness > dave@qms.com -or- uunet!wor-mein!dave -- Alan Rollow alan@nabeth.cxn.dec.com
