New Disk Revisited

[Donald Frantum]

Try shutting down the system. When you restart, at the ISL prompt type ODE and RUN MAPPER. This should provide you with the addresses of the new discs you installed.

Okay, I checked the archives and printed out the several checklists that are
there concerning "How To Install A New Disk" (I agree with Cat - the
archives and the people who contribute to this list are fantastic!).
However, now I have a problem.

I have configured the path:

PATH: 56/52.1 LDEV:
ID: PSEUDO TYPE: DA
PMGR: TRANSPARENT_MGR PMGRPRI: 6
LMGR: MAXIOS: 0

PATH: 56/52.1.0 LDEV: 50
ID: A3646A TYPE: DISC
PMGR: SCSI_DISC_DM PMGRPRI: 8
LMGR: LOGICAL_DEVICE_MANAGER MAXIOS: 0

The dip switch on the HASS is set to 1. I have configured the device:

LDEV: 50 DEVNAME: OUTDEV: 0 MODE:
ID: A3646A RSIZE: 128 DEVTYPE: DISC
PATH: 56/52.1.0 MPETYPE: 4 MPESUBTYPE: 2
CLASS: DISC SPOOL

And I installed the disk in the HASS. However, it does not show up in DSTAT
as a LONER, and when I attempt to access the device via VOLUTIL, I get this:

:volutil
Volume Utility A.02.00, (C) Hewlett-Packard Co., 1987. All Rights Reserved.
volutil: scratchvol 50
*Warning: No volume mounted on ldev 50.
*Instruction: Mount a volume and wait for it to be recognized!
*Verify: Volume now mounted on ldev 50. Continue [Y/N] ?n

So, what do you think? So far I have tried deleting the Ldev and re-adding
it, and removing and reinserting the disk drive into the HASS, but nothing.
One other note, when I do the removal and reinsertion of the drive, I get
the following on the console:

AVR Failure on Ldev 50
Status = FFD40071, # 40 (AVR 6)

Could it possibly be a bad disk drive?

Since we had to reboot due to a power outage the other day, I did exactly
that and Mapper had no problem seeing the drive, but when the system came up
I still had the same problem (volume not available for mounting). So I
contacted the vendor and they sent me a new drive and voila! The drive is
now configured as a test volume. So I figure it was a defective drive.

Thanks for all the help, both current and historical.
