No, it used to work, no components missing.
Query - do the device IDs shown by cstm reflect whats in the system config, or does cstm interrogate the devices on the busses itself? Both drives list in sysgen and cstm as c1537a.....
Not sure what went on exactly, but in the end the on site man managed to get the external drive and the internal drive tpo both work. I suspect the support people supplied a duff drive somehow....the initial boot failure due to stopboot flag getting set apparently inidcates a misconfiguration (eg conflicting scsi addresses).
Spent over 9 hours going back and forth in emails, felt like a reboot every half hour trying to get at least one drive working (where we started from) so I could have some peace of mind. Dont want to do that again!

John,
You are probably missing the posix directories, search the list for the write patches.
A quick work around is to use ODE/MAPPER
At the ISL> prompt, type ODE
then at the ODE> prompt, type RUN MAPPER
Good Luck,
-Craig

The system (in choina) has had a new internmal dds3 fitted by a tech. Trouble with getting a boot stop flag set for a bit, but now system is up. We fitted an external tape drive on the SE scsi socket (addr=3), and it has worked OK several stores through the week, but once seemed to hang at 'unavail sys'.
To try to check how the drive is configured, I tried cstm, but it crashes before getting a prompt -
:cstm
CSTM B8343AA.75.01 Created MON, MAR 25, 2002 2:01 PM

I think they have loaded a tape into the internal drive , but it also showed up as 'unavail sys' for uch longer than I am used to seeing...
Anybody ?
thanks
