DEC 7000 and DEC 10000 Systems
Disks attached to HSJ array controllers may be used as initialization devices for
DEC 7000 or DEC 10000 processors provided the following condition is met:
• DEC 7000 or DEC 10000 console code must be at Version 3.1 or higher.
Note
Currently, HSD30 array controllers are not supported under
DEC 7000/10000 systems.
8.3.2.2 HSJ and HSD30 Array Controller-Attached Disk Drives and VMS AUTOGEN Program
The OpenVMS AUTOGEN.COM file must be edited for HSJ and HSD30
controller-attached disks to be recognized. If AUTOGEN is run without
modification in a system that includes HSJ or HSD30 controller-attached disk
drives, the following error may be displayed:
"** WARNING ** - unsupported system disk type. Using speed and
size characteristics of an RK07."
The AUTOGEN program does not recognize the device types of the HSJ or HSD30
array controller’s attached devices. The OpenVMS DCL lexical F$GETDVI
returns the following values:
OpenVMS VAX V6.0 VAX VMS V5.5-1
OpenVMS VAX V6.1 OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2
---------------- ------------------
141 - HSX00 35 - unknown device
142 - HSX01 35 - unknown device
The AUTOGEN.COM DCL procedure must be modified to support these values.
For VAX VMS Version 5.5–1 and OpenVMS Version 5.5–2 operating systems, the
AUTOGEN.COM DCL procedure selects a –1 (unsupported device) from the speed
list. To circumvent this problem, perform the following steps:
1. Make a copy of the AUTOGEN.COM DCL file in case restoration of the
original state is required.
2. The section of AUTOGEN.COM (from OpenVMS software Version 5.5–2)
pertinent to devices is shown in the following example. Change one element
in the speed list (the –1 shown enclosed in a box) to 4.
$ speed_list=" -1, 2, 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 1, 1,-1,-1, 4,-1, 4,-1,-1, 1, 2"
$ speed_list=speed_list + ", 4, 4, 4, 2, 2, 1,-1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 1, 1,-1,-1,
–1,
-1,-1, 4, 4"
$ speed_list=speed_list + ", 1, 1, 1, 4, 4, 1, 4,-1, 4, 4, 4, 4,-1,-1, 4,-1, 4, 4,-1, 4"
$ speed_list=speed_list + ", 4, 4,-1,-1, 4, 4, 2,-1,-1,-1, 4,-1, 1,-1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4"
$ speed_list=speed_list + ", 4, 4, 4, 4,-1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4"
$ speed_list=speed_list + ", 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4"
$ speed_list=speed_list + ", 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4"
$ diskspeed=-1
$ temp = F$GETDVI("sys$sysdevice","DEVTYPE")
$ IF (temp .LE. 126) .AND. (temp .GE. 1) -
THEN diskspeed = F$ELEMENT(temp,",",speed_list)
$ disksize = F$GETDVI("sys$sysdevice","MAXBLOCK")
$ IF diskspeed .NE. -1 THEN GOTO getdata30
3. Run the AUTOGEN program.
