• Physical device. The physical device type must be identical for all devices
to be used in a single host-based shadow set. The physical device type is
obtained by entering the controller SHOW DISK command.
Storagesets created in the controller’s configuration and combined with other
storagesets in a host-based shadow set also must be identical.
8.3.7 ERF with OpenVMS Systems
The limitations in this section apply to specific versions of the OpenVMS VAX
and OpenVMS Alpha operating systems as indicated in the release notes and/or
in the controller SPD.
Current versions of the OpenVMS ERF utility translate event codes reported by
HSOF provided the OpenVMS operating system is Version 6.1 or higher.
For OpenVMS Version 6.0 and earlier, the error report formatter (ERF) does
not decode controller and device names, but does decode the basic MSCP and
TMSCP error packet contents. The basic MSCP and TMSCP packets are decoded
except for the controller model byte which is not translated from decimal 40 to
the character string ‘‘HSJ40.’’
Example 8–1 is an example from an OpenVMS Alpha Version 6.1 error log
translated by ERF.
Note
The string ‘‘MODEL = 40.’’ should be interpreted as ‘‘HSJ40.’’
