New disks on HSZ50 not usable

2012-09-28T20:47:04

I have added a couple of disks on an HSZ50 based array, TRU64 4.0d

The new disks are visible using scu:

I used mknod to create the device special files:

and
mknod /dev/rrz10a c 8 17536

as well as ........ b 8 17600

This seemed to go OK too.

disklabel  seemed OK -

All looks as it should (except partition a - should be unused)

Next create a file system:

# newfs /dev/rzb10c
Warning: /dev/rrzb10c is marked in use for 4.2BSD in the disklabel.
If you continue with the operation you can
possibly destroy existing data.
CONTINUE? [y/n] y
write error: 4109469
wtfs: No space left on device

I get this no space left message no matter what partition I use. I have 
run DILX on the two drives (read only) and no errors showed up so I'm 
guessing my rusty unix skills and aging memory are failing me.

Does anyone have any idea what step I'm missing? This server has been 
accessing other units on this HSZ50 for years....

TIA,

Ralf

Hi All,
  I am asked to configure password less login from a linuxbox SLES 10

Fatal pipe error related to ssh

Halte, James — 2012-07-20T22:53:24

I'm currently having an issue on one of my Tru64 version 5.1b servers, where I removed all users except for 'root' from the /etc/group file, and now when any users try to ssh to root or other users, they get the following message:

"ssh: FATAL: pipe: Permission denied"

If I add myself back into the system group, then the message goes away.

Question on Tru64unix and building a Python-2 environment

2012-07-19T15:59:36

Hello,

Is anyone running Python version 2.5.<something> (or higher) on Tru64? 
If so, were you able to build it from the source distribution? I have
been trying to build Python-2.5.6, both with the native Tru64 C compiler
and with gcc-4.6.3, but I keep running into problems in the extensions
build section. Specifically: the native Tru64 C compiler appears to build
cleanly; however, the 'make test' fails on the test_ctypes, test_file and
test_zlib steps. I suspect that the test_zlib failure can be addreseed, but
the test_ctypes and test_file failures may be more significant problems;
the gcc build fails on the _curses and _curses_panel steps identified by
the gcc compiler as a problem with the curses.h/ncurses.h headers(?). I
have built other software with this gcc-4.6.3 environment without running
into that particular issue.
I would appreciate any suggestions or references for further work to
resolve the issues that I have encountered.

Thanks,
Bill

Farewell.

Just turned off my last Alpha. For reasons I can't fathom I'm saddened by its passing.

Issue with HSZ80 EMU

Chris Adams — 2012-05-10T17:10:52

I have an ES40 that is connected to a BA370 array with HSZ80
controllers.  The EMU alarm went off, giving me a solid amber light on
the EMU button and on the BA370 upper-right LED.  I pushed the button,
and that stopped the alarm.

According to this:

http://www.ds10.com/FPL/HW/STOR/ENCLOSURES/BA370/SHOOTERS/ts_emu_module.html
http://www.ds10.com/FPL/HW/STOR/ENCLOSURES/BA370/SHOOTERS/emu_error_codes.html

this means an error condition (temp, blower, DC or term power).
However, the combination of LEDs I see isn't in the list.  I have the
system fault LED solid amber and the power LED solid green.  Nothing is
blinking, and all the blower LEDs are out.

Everything appears to be operating correctly; the HSZ80s both report no
errors, I can feel all the fans blowing, the air is cool, the power
looks good.

Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

Goodbye and thanks for all the fish

Tru64 gurus,

My last Tru64 system and I are both retiring.  I want to thank you all for the help and advice you all have rendered over the last twenty years.  It's been fun.

SUMMARY: Internet Express 6.7

joe fletcher — 2012-01-06T23:30:38

Thanks to those who replied and especially to those who provided locations for the software.
I've now got the perl kit installed and seeing some progress with the application build.
 
Cheers.
 
 
 
In the hope that there's still life on here, does anyone know where I might get hold of the Internet Express kit v6.7?
Specifically I'm after the perl 5.8.8 kit. I'm trying to build a perl-based app and 5.8.8 is a minimum requirement.

I've got 5.8.7 but its not quite making it. I've tried build 5.14 from source but I'm getting some odd memory issues so noy joy there.

Any assistance as ever greatly appreciated.

AES decryption of Winziped files

2012-01-05T01:18:00

Hello Managers,

Does anyone have a solution to decrypting files that have been password
encrypted using AES under Winzip on Windoze.

I've been looking a package (RPM hopefully) that can be used.


Thanks

PS,
Is there still a site for Tru64 open source stuff?

SUMMARY: AS800 can't see disks on RA3000

2011-06-06T18:44:43

SUMMARY:

As I expected, it was something simple. I needed to run doconfig so the 
new adapter would get loaded at boot. After that, piece of cake!

Thanks to Raul Sossa Sossa for quick response!

Cheers!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a new (to me) RA3000 with one mirror set created. The unit was 
attached to an AlphaServer 400 with no other controllers in it. That 
server booted from rz0 internal, and the mirror set showed up as rz8. I 
built file systems, added an informix database and pretty much tested it 
out for a couple of days. I shut everything down, connected the ra3000 to 
a new controller with a y cable and external terminator in my AlphaServer 
800 (already has a kz  adapter connected to an hsz40, and a mylex for 
booting). At the srm prompt, is see the new controller as pkc0.5.0.14.0, 
and the disk as dkc0.0.0.14.0

Problem: when I boot unix ( 4.0g same as the AlphaServer400 ), the device 
special files aren't being created, and scsimgr -scan_all doesn't find the 

disks either.  The mylex drives show up as re0, the hsz40 drives are rz128 

and rz129. Its been years since I've had to mess with this stuff....
