898.0. "Missing cylinder on RZ29B?" by MSAM03::ONGKIENHIN () Tue Jun 03 1997 22:41

Hi,
    
    My customer is having a Alphaserver 4100 running D.Unix 3.2G with
    HSZ40. They are running SAP and Informix using raw device. We
    experience intermittent cam scsi error on the raw device and noticed a
    "lost cylinder" after zero the label on RZ29B-VA. The disk was
    inititialise and disklabel on HSZ40 as shown below:
    

THe disklayout before the error:

-----------------------------------------------------

Then the SAP R3 under Informix RDBMS performed some works. After some time, 
Informix DB crashed due to chunk offline problem.
Informix uses partition g and h for its raw devices.


When checked in the uerf, the following output was found:

After the error, the following steps was carried out:
1) disklabel -z /dev/rrzc33c
2) disklabel -wr /dev/rrzc33c hsz40

The total cylinder has becomes less 1, ie before error=3707, 
  after error=3706.

What does the error in the uerf means and why there is a missing of one
    cylinder?
    Appreciate someone can help?

	You should note that this has been cross-posted to ASK_SSAG
	and DIGITAL_UNIX with the note numbers, so anybody interested
	can read the whole string.

	This note got here because Fred Knight noted that it could be
	an HSZ40 specific problem with the drive suddenly changing
	size.
