I replaced the disk on rosebud with the swap disk ADS sent us.
ADS sent us a disk and enclosure, which is convenient, but when I
installed the disk, I discovered that the SCSI selector wasn't
operating; only the 1 bit appeared to function (that is, if I set it
to 3 or 5, it showed up as 1; if I set it to 0, it worked okay).
Peculiarly, I didn't seem to have this problem on hodge when I tested
the disk (I tested it as SCSI ID 3).
Anyway, the disk is currently up on rosebud as SCSI ID 0, mounted on
/vicepb and /vicepc, but with no volumes on the disk, and no
disk.rosebud2.b and disk.rosebud2.c volumes (I removed the mountpoints
in /afs/.sipb/service/partitions).
I will call ADS tomorrow and see what they say. There shouldn't be a
real problem running with this new disk at SCSI ID 0, but it doesn't
make me very confident.
For the record, the disk had two labels which said, among other
things:
Part #: AD4554C
S/N: TZ441419
Model: 410-4C
S/N: 96230722954
The second label appeared to be for the enclosure.
(As an aside, I removed the mountpoints in /afs/.sipb/service/restore
which were pointing to the bad volumes on the old disk. I also
removed the VLDB entires for the volumes on the old disk before
replacing it.)
