Everyone,

I recently ran into an issue where the 3000 could not "recognize" a new disc I installed in the machine.

At boot time, some strange error message occured saying the new disc was a "mirror of ldev 1", the system then put the drive in a unaccessable state.

When the system comes up a DSTAT all shows the disc in an "UNKNOWN" state.  It will not let me "SCRATCHVOL", if I do a "FORMATVOL" the system goes into a loop, hitting brake and abort, it then says the drive was put in a loaner state, but it was not.

I have found a work around, but it takes about 20-30 minutes for each disc.  My question is...

1)  What type of header/MBR record is MPE looking for?
2)  Is it possible to create the header record?  (Unix PVCREATE)
3)  Does anyone have a script to do it in debug?

Thanks everyone for the help.

-Craig
