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:

and
mknod /dev/rrz10a c 8 17536

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

This seemed to go OK too.

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
to a Tru unix box, I tried  to configure with the usual  open-ssh way.
 didn't work . Later after some googling, got the following link

Still i am not able to make this work. Can somebody help

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.

Thank you, and please feel free to contact me by phone or email.

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.

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?

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....


TIA

EVERYONE WHO RECEIVES THIS MESSAGE HAD BETTER READ IT THOROUGHLY.

Tru64-UNIX-Managers Information and Rules

This message is a summary of the Tru64-UNIX-managers charter and rules.
Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in severe chastisement by
the list maintainer and other list participants. Retain a copy of this
statement and refer to it before submitting messages to the list or the list
administrator.

Last modified: 2002-10-09 |

1. Send only HP Tru64 UNIX (formerly Compaq Tru64 UNIX (formerly |
Digital UNIX (formerly Digital OSF/1))) system management questions and |
summaries to tru64-unix-managers< at >ornl.gov. Include your return address in
the body of your message so people can reply directly to you. Avoid MIME
and HTML--many people can't read them.

2. This list is not moderated! Every message that is sent to the list will
be passed on to every member of the list (with a few small exceptions).

3. This mailing list is managed by a utility called Majordomo. You can
subscribe to the list by sending a message like:

subscribe tru64-unix-managers

to majordomo< at >ornl.gov.

Likewise, if you want to remove yourself from the list, send the
message:

unsubscribe tru64-unix-managers

to the same address. If that fails, examine the headers of a message
from the list. You should see something like:

From tru64-unix-managers-owner-you=your.domain< at >sws1.ctd.ornl.gov Wed Dec 31 17:02:32 1997

Your subscription address is embedded in the return address after
"tru64-unix-managers-owner-" and before "< at >sws1.ctd.ornl.gov". Just
replace the "=" with an "< at >". Then send a message to majordomo< at >ornl.gov
containing:

unsubscribe tru64-unix-managers you< at >your.domain

If you don't see anything like this, let me know and I'll see if I can
find you on the list.

For a complete list of Majordomo commands, use the command:

help

4. This list is intended to be a quick-turnaround troubleshooting aid for
those who administer and manage Alpha AXP systems running Tru64 UNIX. |
Its primary purpose is to provide the Tru64 UNIX manager with a quick
source of information for time-critical system management problems.

5. This list is not available as a digest. If you don't want a bunch of
list messages cluttering your mailbox, use procmail, deliver, or some
other filtering mechanism to file list messages in a separate folder.
You can also unsubscribe from the list and read it via the web
archives.

6. Answers to questions are to be mailed back to the questioner and are
not to be sent to the entire list. Before responding, please make sure
the questioner hasn't already posted a summary. People often respond
very quickly to messages posted to the list and it's not unusual for a
summary to be posted within an hour of the original question. This is
especially important if you only read list messages periodically.

7. The person who originally asked the question has the responsibility of
summarizing the answers and sending the entire summary back to the
list. Consider this the price you pay for the advice you receive. When
a summary is sent back to the list, it should contain the word
"SUMMARY" as the first word of the "Subject" line. The summary should
include a brief description of the original question and a short
synopsis of each of the unique responses. Don't just list the
respondents or say the problem is fixed, and don't just include a copy
of all of the responses.

8. Discussions on any topic are very strongly discouraged and will not
normally be tolerated.

9. Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE), also known as "SPAM", is, of
course, not allowed. If you receive an inappropriate message via the
list, feel free to complain to the originator or the originator's
service provider. Do not post complaints to the list.

10. If it is not technical and specifically related to Tru64 UNIX
management, then it does not belong on this list. Requests for vendor
recommendations are tolerated, provided that the hardware in question
is something that system managers normally purchase.

11. Requests for software (free or otherwise) should be limited to software
that is directly related to Tru64 UNIX management.

12. Tru64 UNIX-related job offers must be submitted for posting to the list |
owner at tru64-unix-managers-owner< at >ornl.gov. Resumes should be posted |
to the relevant *.resumes newsgroups. |

13. Please...Think before you send a message! Ask yourself "Is this really
appropriate?" There are enough other newsgroups and mailing lists
around to cover the marginal topics. Perhaps there is another forum
that is more appropriate.

14. Tru64-UNIX-Managers messages are archived and available via the World
Wide Web (WWW):

http://www.ornl.gov/cts/archives/mailing-lists/

A European web archive is also available:
