Well
I just got this machine that had two XT-4380E hard disks and one of them
was dead, so I replaced it with another XT-4380E I had in another
MicroVAX-II.
So far so good, I now have a system that has 2 XT-4380E on a RQDX
controller.
My problem, I can't write a disk label. I run "edlabel" and it runs just
fine and I tell it to write the label, but when I go back to check the
label, it's not their. When I load my handy-dandy diagnostics tape, it
tells me that the hard disks are "off-line".
If their anything special I have to do with these hard disks to get them to
work? I know that the one that I replaced the bad one with works as it
came from one of my old VAX/VMS systems and at one time I had NetBSD loaded
on it.
I would appreciate any help on this.
