Chapter 14 MtcScsiP and MtcScsiR Messages
IOPn.MtcScsiP status: An internal HP NetServer AA software error occurred during join. Contact your service
provider for assistance.
Severity Error
Description An unexpected error occurred in HP NetServer AA software.
Action Contact your service provider for assistance.
IOPn.MtcScsiP status: An unrecoverable CE boot disk read error occurred during the BIOS phase of boot. The disk
will be marked faulted.
Severity Error
Description The SCSI Provider encountered a bad spot while reading one or more sectors during CE boot.
Action If the CE boot disk mirror set is current, then a failover to the correctly functioning disk will
occur automatically. Later, the faulted disk can be reenabled using the HP NetServer AA
Manager. Once the faulted disk is reenabled, a copy to the previously faulted disk will begin,
and any bad sectors should be remapped automatically, making them available for use.
If the CE boot disk mirror set is not current, then a failover is not possible. You must restore
the faulted disk from backup, as follows:
• Using Windows NT Disk Administrator in Offline HP NetServer AA I/O Processor Mode,
reformat the disk. Do not select the
Quick Format
option when formatting.
Formatting without
Quick Format
will cause any sectors with bad spots to be
remapped, making them available for use.
• Do not repartition the disk unless the partition table itself has a bad spot.
• Do not attempt to format the HP NetServer AA partition.
• Mark the intended boot partition active. Marking a partition active informs Windows NT
that the partition is a boot partition.
• Apply backup data after the data partition(s) have been reformatted.
• Boot the IOP in Operational HP NetServer AA I/O Processor Mode.
Note: The previously faulted disk will still be marked as faulted, so it must be explicitly
enabled before it can be used. The CEs should begin booting. As the CE boot
progresses, a copy from the IOP with the faulted disk to the remote IOP will begin.
