5. Compare the total block size obtained from the "show device" command
with the block size capacity obtained in step 3.

If the reported sizes are different, this disk is at risk for the problem. See
the "Solution" section of this appendix for the recovery procedure.
10.2 Solution
If you are using the INITIALIZE SAVE_CONFIGURATION command to
initialize JBOD disks under HSOF Version 27Z, be sure to initialize the disk
with the platform file system before rebooting the controller.
If you have the risk factors for the problem as described in the “Symptom” and
“Detection” sections of this appendix, use the steps below to resolve the
discrepancy in controller/operating system views of the disk at your earliest
opportunity.
Compaq recommends that the recovery process described here be performed
before moving the disk to a controller running Version 3.7. Any files written
in the save configuration area are accessible to the operating system after the
restore process. However, those files are suspect and should be carefully
examined to ensure that the data they contain is correct, or restored from a
previous backup.
1.
Back up the unit that contains the save SAVE_CONFIG information.
2.
Unmount the file system(s) contained on that unit.
3.
Delete the unit from the configuration in the controller.
4.
Initialize the container from the controller without SAVE_CONFIG.
5.
Add the unit back into the configuration.
6.
Initialize and restore unit from backup.
