Rrd40 Test Disc Utility - DEC MicroVAX 3100 Owner's Manual

• Error or status information for each device
• Number of times device was tested
• Progress count (indicates progress within some tests)
• The time (days hours:minutes:seconds) of the last test pass.
Single question marks provide status information and do not interfere with
the operation of the system; double question marks
(??)
indicate errors
which affect system operation.
If you get double question marks next to the tape drive mnemonic on SCSI-A
or SCSI -B bus, and you ran the system exerciser with media in the drive,
try a different tape cartridge. Your media may be the source of the problem.
If you get any other double question marks, call your service representative
for assistance. Know the mnemonic associated with the question mark.
Table 6-3 gives the device that corresponds to each mnemonic. Have this
information ready when you call your service representative.
