I have just popped an ST225 disk into my MicroVAX II to see if it works and
I get this status:
Device Device Error Volume Free Trans

MICRO1$DUA0: HostUnavailable 0
MICRO1$ sh dev micro1$dua0:/fu
Disk MICRO1$DUA0:, device type RD51, is online, host not available, file-
oriented device, shareable, available to cluster, error logging is
enabled.

I have done a quick search on the web and all I can see is that it may be
somehow related to clustering. Well, I netbooted the machine specifically
because I wanted to check out the disk. I have done this many times before
without issue.
What does this status mean?

Rob

I don't know what status you would get if it has not been low level
formatted, but it won't just work without formatting it first.

Yes, I thought about that after I sent the email. It is "random" in that I
don't know how it was formatted, but I thought it would show Online and
perhaps fail to mount if not suitably formatted. I will have to get my
MicroVAX 2000 out and format it. I seem to remember someone posting about
formatting parameters, I will see if I can find the info.
Thanks

The 2000 couldn't see it at first either, but then I remembered it needs to
be jumpered as DS3 (it was set to DS1). After that the 2000 could see it and
it could format it too. Now it is just fine in the MicroVAX II so it looks
like I have a good ST-225.
