IOPn.MtcFLOP status: The Floppy Provider attempted to attach a floppy device to the floppy driver’s device object,
but failed. As a result, that floppy device will be inaccessible.
Severity Error
Description One of the following problems has occurred:
• The floppy device was not properly defined using the HP NetServer AA Configuration
Utility.
• The floppy driver could not find any floppy devices.
• The floppy driver is not running.
Action • Using the HP NetServer AA Configuration Utility, check the configuration information
that you supplied for each floppy device.
• Make any necessary corrections.
• Remember that when you make a change using the HP NetServer AA Configuration
Utility, you must make the same change on both IOPs. (The IOPs must contain identical
configuration files.) Because any changes will not take effect until the IOP reboots,
schedule an appropriate time to reboot the IOPs.
• On the IOP where the floppy devices physically reside, use Start Setting
Control Panel Devices and make sure that the “Floppy” is listed and shown as
running.
• Check the Event Viewer for a Windows NT message stating that the floppy driver failed to
initialize. If this message was logged, Windows NT did not initialize the floppy driver.
Refer to Windows NT documentation for information.
