It's been a few years since I managed a 3000 but I was working with one of my
clients with adding a drive to their system. It really should be
straight-forward but we seem to be missing something. The system is a 928LX
running 5.5 with Express 7. (Yeah, I know...) It has two internal drives (4GB)
which is the max for that cabinet. They purchased a 9GB drive in an external
box and we connected it to the external SCSI port (just above the console
port). We set the SCSI ID to 4, added the pseudo path (56/52.4.0) to sysgen
and added LDEV 3 with that path and an ID = "ST39173W"

We rebooted the system and ran ODE MAPPER. (On the first runs of MAPPER, we
get the report headers and then garbage. When we type run again, it works
fine. Don't know if that's significant.) When the drives mount, we get LLIO
errors -11 and -15 and we don't see the drive when we do a DSTAT ALL.

We contacted the vendor and stepped through everything but the results were
the same. They sent out a new drive (shows as IBM instead of Seagate) and the
client tried it again and got the same results. I asked for a copy of the
output from MAPPER. Here it is:

Path		Component Name		Type	HW 	MOD	SW 	MOD

56		Upper bus convertor	7H	500H	CH 	0	0
56/40		cio adapter			8H	5H	10H	0
0
56/40.0	HP-IB card					
56/52		HP-PB scsi			4h	14h	39h	0
0
56/52.0.0	HPC1537a tape drive					HP00
56/52.2.0	TOSHIBA540ita CDROM					1036
56/52.4.0	IBM DDRS-39130W						s98H
56/52.5.0	SEAGATE ST15150N DISK					HP10
56/52.6.0	SEAGATE ST15150N DISK					HP10
56/56		HP-PB LAN/CONSOLE		2H	14H	60H	0
1
56/60		HP-PB PORT			7H	103H	CH 	0
0
62		PROCESSOR			0H	480H	4H	0
0
63		MEMORY 128 (M)		1H	22H	9H	0	0
		SLOT 3A-64M					
		SLOT 3B-64M	

So both drives appear in mapper but not MPE. Any thoughts? Is there an issue
with the SCSI ID we chose (4)?

Thanks in advance...
