I would expect it here as MKA400. Are you sure there is not also a disk at
bus 0 node 4 target 4 lun 0?
Tape drive names start with a M (magtape) disk names with a D.
Do you have a lun conflict between a disk and a tape drive?

Re: RMC on DS20E or ES40

Should work...
Connect to the serial console port.
Use a null-modem cable.
At the firmware-prompt:

More information needed:
Operating system version?
If V4.*, does the device appear in the hardware inventory shown at boot
time?
If V5.*, does the device appear in the command:
hwmgr show scsi
In either OS version, does the device show up in the command:
scu show edt
Commands used to operate the device?
Note that in Unix, unlike OpenVMS, one does not mount a tape drive.

Thanks, but the problem was HyperTerminal, using a VT320 emulator works
fine.

I should also mention I am trying to use decladebug to debug a program

Re: Best OS for alpha platform going forward?

I think you just hit on the only choice when you mentioned 'free'...
Linux... WinNT4/VMS/Tru64 are DOA as far as the alpha is considered and have
been stagnant, out side of a few upgrades/patches for sometime.
I rolled over from FreeBSD after having so many 'issues' with the only
answer being, 'its not supported on the alpha' even though I knew damn well
that it was. I did consider Tru64 for a bit when they offered the 'free
licensing' deal but when I learned that they weren't actively pursuring it,
linux was my next logical conclusion.
I installed Redhat 7.2 [actually done by Compaq and as far as I know, the
best install] and simply upgraded my software to the latest greatest and
learned how to create rpms in the process. Now I'm sporting a box with later
software than most i386 releases:
Kernel-2.6.11.6
GCC-3.4.3
Make-2.80
Binutils-2.15
GTK-2.6.3
Gnome-2.8.2
Xfce-4.2.1.1
Apache-2.0.54
Pureftpd-1.0.20
etc...
Screencaps...
http://65.28.70.117/tmp/xfce-4.2/
I do use Compaq C for a large number of compiles, programs such as:
Python-2.4.1
Apache-2.0.54
PHP-4.3.5
Mysql-4.0.16
SSHD-3.8.x
OpenSSL
*long list of stuff...
and a lot of core libs such as libz, imlib, etc. Just add
'/usr/lib/libots.so' to your /etc/ld.so.preload file and all your programs,
gcc or otherwise, are compatible with CCC compiled proggies  Just make
sure you 'patch' GLIBC-2.3.2 or better, they have some known issues with CCC
and ICC...
As far as I'm concerned, on the Alpha, linux is the only long range
future... From what I understand, Alpha has finally been sold to Intel, who
promptly scavenged its bones and then tossed the rest away. Compaq's
'pledge' of supporting the Alpha for the next 25yrs is already starting to
wain after 2 or so since they've rolled over the the Itanium... Will L G

I work in a small *ix support group that supports, among other things, a
number of systems with alpha CPU's.
I'm writing to ask what free or commercial OS has the broadest hardware
support for the alpha CPU systems, now, and going forward?
I'd also like to know what free or commercial OS for alpha has the best
support for running commercial applications, whether native or emulated,
tru64, linux or whatever?
Followups have been directed to comp.os.misc.
Please think twice before heading off into a flame war over this. It
definitely isn't worth it.
Thanks!

NetBSD usually makes a point of supporting many different
architectures. Perhaps it would work better than FreeBSD.

Check out http://www.alphalinux.org/
There is a port fo fedora core to alpha.
I'm running Alpha Core 0.9 on a XP900.

There's also a 'better' Gentoo port available and a couple of dusty releases
at Debian and Suse sites.

I haven't tried Linux on alpha, guess it would work fine... I use both
Tru64 and FreeBSD on alphas. Tru64 is the obvious choice as far as
architecture and device support is concerned, however if you want
readily available (open-source) packages, it may not be the best option
(although many of those are supported/available through
internet-express, etc). see
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/affinity/download.html .
FreeBSD 5.3 installation failed on Miatas (a type of alpha
workstations), but works perfectly on an ES40 system. (Haven't tested
install/working on alphastations or DS/GS servers.) I've had no
troubles with hardware support with FreeBSD so far. Moreover, I guess
from version 5.2 onwards FreeBSD has SMP enabled by default (?), so you
can use all those CPUs.
Just a piece of trivia - there are some Windows NT ports available on
alpha (but sorry - you asked about the "best" OS).

Yea on the Alpha Tru64 is pretty fast...the only problem is driver
support...for Dec hardware, you're set, for others, you're up the proverbial
creek. Personally, I try to stay away from Dec perpherals, not that it
isn't good, its just over priced and old as dirt. Don't believe me, try one
of Dec's top of the line vidcards and then compare it to $45 ATI Radeon card
w/64mb ram... You'll notice much more than the $400+ price difference.

We have the following environment.
Two ES45 with a DEGXA PCI Gigabit Cards as follows:
name = bcm0
category = network
sub_category = Ethernet
model = DEGXA
hardware_rev = BCM5703_C0
firmware_rev =
MAC_address = 00-10-18-0C-4E-39
MTU_size = 1500
media_speed = 1000
media_selection = Automatic
The NFS Environment we have is clustered running only samba.
The performance in the NFS Cluster is decreasing every day until it
reaches a point in which we have to reboot the cluster once a month
to
clear out the cache and buffer. Then the services come back fine.
The following errors are constantly logged on to the
/var/adm/messages
in relation to the
RFS3_COMMIT
RFS3_READ
RFS3_WRITE
RFS3_GETATTR, client address = xx.xx.xx.xx, errno 70
rfs_dispatch: sendreply failed IP address: xx.xx.xx.xx
rfs_dispatch: sendreply failed IP address: xx.xx.xx.xx
NFS server: stale file handle fs(2554,616540) file 857277 gen 32771
Our environment consists of over 40 TB of files in data being accross
the NFS.
Question:
Is there a problem with the retransmit of large file systems, since
most of our file systems are over 2 gig in size.
Also, while doing some tests internally we noticed the following in
MB/sec and while reading a file on being served by the CFS.
In server 1 the reads were at 11 and the writes at 25
In server 2 the reads were at 35 and the writes at 25
Questions:
Can someone tell me what is the high-performance blocksize for NFS
V3.
If there is a diagram online that will make us understand this better
it will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
