Any chance LDEV 9 was added on the fly (SYSGEN/DOIONOW) some while back and
isn't in the CONFIG file you booted from?

Subject: [HP3000-L] strange power outage
Last Tuesday while I was out of the office, it was reported that one of my
users couldn't log on. I VPN'd in, and discovered my HP3000 957
unavailable, spoke with pipple onsite who said "no lights" on the box at
all. No other devices in the room indicated failure of line power, and
everything's on UPS, the 957 doubly so, so all I could figure was that
somebody must have um accidentally um hit the power switch. I walked my
onsite person thru a power-up sequence (it's not completely automatic alas),
and all seemed to go well. But that night's backup failed, saying unknown
device...
:FILE BUPDEV;DEV=!BUPDEV
FILE BUPDEV;DEV=9
^
Unknown logical device. (CIERR 345)
REMAINDER OF JOB FLUSHED.
CPU sec. = 1. elapsed min. = 1. WED, DEC 7, 2005, 1:00 AM.
The next day it was reported to me that the tape drive we know as ldev 9
wouldn't eject its tape, and that the CleanMe! light was on. Yep, no
response to the drive's button, so I switched to using ldev7, pending...
I'm planning to bounce the system this evening to recover, so I went to take
a look into what needs doing, and sure enough right there on the console is
a legit session logon on ldev 9 from this morning.
So a couple questions:
1) could a dying tape drive bring the system down?
2) the drive obviously has power, but it's unrecognized by the system.
How do I get it back?
Here's some info from sysgen/io which looks to me like it knows there's
supposed to be a DEVTYPE: TAPE there...
