Disk subsystem check
Checking the disk
subsystem
A stage 3 failure could indicate a disk problem as well as a
SCSI problem.
To check for problems in the disk subsystem, follow these
steps.
Step Action
1 Power down the system.
2 Remove the suspected faulty disk drive.
3 Check the external SCSI cable to make sure it is
secure.
4 Ensure that the SCSI ID on the back panel of the
external tape drive is set to 1. If it is accidentally set
to 0 or 2, it will interfere with disk drive addressing.
5 Replace the disk.
6 Restart the system and perform a restore (for non-
shadowed systems) or a disk sync (for shadowed
systems) as described in the
System Installation and
Modification Guide
(NTP 555-7001-215).
7 See the sections on disk unit replacement in
Chapter 16, “Hardware maintenance,” and review
Chapter 17, “Common disk subsystem problems.”
