Format and device code load utility (HSUTIL)
Use the HSUTIL utility to upgrade the firmware on disk drives in the subsystem
and to format disk drives. While formatting disk drives or installing new
firmware, HSUTIL might produce one or more of the messages shown in Table 36
(many of the self-explanatory messages have been omitted from the table).
Note: Disk format times are approximate. If a device takes greater than 20 percent
more time than the estimate, you may need to monitor the device to see if it performs
well. The device format time is approximate; however, if the device encounters many
block revector operations during formatting, it can take longer for the formatting to
complete.
Table 36: HSUTIL Messages and Inquiries
Message Description
Insufficient
resources.
HSUTIL cannot find or perform the operation because internal
controller resources are not available.
Unable to change
operation mode to
maintenance for unit.
HSUTIL was unable to put the source single-disk drive unit into
Maintenance mode to enable formatting or code load.
Unit successfully
allocated.
HSUTIL has allocated the single-disk drive unit for code load
operation. At this point, the unit and the associated device are
not available for other subsystem operations.
Unable to allocate
unit.
HSUTIL could not allocate the single-disk drive unit. An
accompanying message explains the reason.
Unit is owned by
another sysop.
Device cannot be allocated because the device is being used by
another subsystem function or local program.
Unit is in maintenance
mode.
Device cannot be formatted or code loaded because the device is
being used by another subsystem function or local program.
Exclusive access is
declared for unit.
Another subsystem function has reserved the unit shown.
The other controller
has exclusive access
declared for unit.
The companion controller has locked out “this controller” from
accessing the unit shown.
The RUNSTOP_SWITCH is
set to RUN_DISABLED
for unit.
The RUN and NORUN unit indicator for the unit shown is set to
NORUN; the disk cannot spin up.
