-1 Command failed (an error occurred).
DIAGNOSTICS AND ERRORS
Errors can originate from problems with:
• see
• SCSI (device level) communications
• system calls
Error messages generated by see:
usage: see <-d | -b <byteno> -v <hex byte>> <special>
An error in command syntax has occurred. Re-enter command with the required arguments, in the
order shown.
see: Arg out of range
One of the arguments has exceeded its maximum or minimum size, or is incorrect in form. Check the
size and form of each argument.
see: device busy
To ensure that see does not modify a disk array that is being used by another process,
see attempts
to obtain exclusive access to the disk array. If the disk array is already opened by another process (for
example, LVM — the Logical Volume Manager), a ‘‘
device busy
’’ error message is returned by the
driver. To eliminate the ‘‘
device busy’’ condition, determine what process has the device open. In
the case of LVM, it is necessary to deactivate the volume group containing the array before
configuring the array (see vgchange(1M)).
see: LUN # too big
The LUN number, which is derived from the device special file name, is out of range.
see: LUN does not exist
The addressed LUN is not configured, and thus is not known to the array controller.
see: Not a raw file
Utilities must be able to open the device file for raw access.
see: Not an HP SCSI disk array
The device being addressed is not an HP SCSI disk array.
see: Transfer length error
The amount of data actually sent to or received from the device was not the expected amount.
SCSI (device level) communication errors:
Sense data associated with the failed operation is printed.
Error messages generated by system calls:
see uses the following system calls:
stat(), open(), close(), read(), write(), and ioctl().
Documentation for these HP-UX system calls contains information about the specific error conditions asso-
ciated with each call. see does not alter the value of errno. The interpretation of errno for printing
purposes is performed by the system utility strerror().
EXAMPLES
To display the values of the accessible EEPROM bytes on HP SCSI disk array /dev/rdsk/c2t6d0
on a
Series 700:
see -d /dev/rdsk/c2t6d0
WARNING
Changing the values of EEPROM bytes can result in incorrect controller behavior with respect to utilities
and support software that may not be immediately obvious. Also, the EEPROM can only be written to a
finite number of times, and if its write count is exceeded, it must be replaced.
DEPENDENCIES
The HP C2425 and HP C2427 disk arrays are only supported on Series 700 systems running HP-UX version
9.0X.
