10: up \- unibus storage module controller/drives
11: .SH SYNOPSIS
12: .B "controller sc0 at uba? csr 0176700 vector upintr
13: .br
14: .B "disk up0 at sc0 drive 0"
15: .SH DESCRIPTION
16: This is a generic UNIBUS storage module disk driver.
17: It is specifically designed to work with the
18: Emulex SC-21 and SC-31 controllers.
19: It can be easily
20: adapted to other controllers (although bootstrapping will
21: not necessarily be directly possible.)
22: .PP
23: Files with minor device numbers 0 through 7 refer to various portions
24: of drive 0;
25: minor devices 8 through 15 refer to drive 1, etc.
26: The standard device names begin with ``up'' followed by
27: the drive number and then a letter a-h for partitions 0-7 respectively.
28: The character ? stands here for a drive number in the range 0-7.
29: .PP
30: The block files access the disk via the system's normal
31: buffering mechanism and may be read and written without regard to
32: physical disk records. There is also a `raw' interface
33: which provides for direct transmission between the disk
34: and the user's read or write buffer.
35: A single read or write call results in exactly one I/O operation
36: and therefore raw I/O is considerably more efficient when
37: many words are transmitted. The names of the raw files
38: conventionally begin with an extra `r.'
39: .PP
40: In raw I/O counts should be a multiple of 512 bytes (a disk sector).
41: Likewise
42: .I seek
43: calls should specify a multiple of 512 bytes.
44: .SH "DISK SUPPORT"
45: The driver interrogates the controller's holding register
46: to determine the type of drive attached. The driver recognizes
47: seven different drives:
48: CDC 9762, CDC 9766,
49: AMPEX DM980, AMPEX 9300, AMPEX Capricorn,
50: FUJITSU 160, and FUJITSU Eagle
51: (the Eagle is not supported by the SC-21).
52: The origin and size of the pseudo-disks on each drive are
53: as follows:

133: It is unwise for all of these files to be present in one installation,
134: since there is overlap in addresses and protection becomes
135: a sticky matter.
136: The up?a partition is normally used for the root file system,
137: the up?b partition as a paging area,
138: and the up?c partition for pack-pack copying (it maps the entire disk).
139: On 160M drives the up?g partition maps the rest of the pack.
140: On other drives both up?g and up?h are used to map the
141: remaining cylinders.

148: .SH DIAGNOSTICS
149: \fBup%d%c: hard error %sing fsbn %d[-%d] cs2=%b er1=%b er2=%b\fR.
150: An unrecoverable error occurred during transfer of the specified
151: filesystem block number(s),
152: which are logical block numbers on the indicated partition.
153: The contents of the cs2, er1 and er2 registers are printed
154: in octal and symbolically with bits decoded.
155: The error was either unrecoverable, or a large number of retry attempts
156: (including offset positioning and drive recalibration) could not
157: recover the error.
158: .PP
159: \fBup%d: write locked\fR. The write protect switch was set on the drive
160: when a write was attempted. The write operation is not recoverable.
161: .PP
162: \fBup%d: not ready\fR. The drive was spun down or off line when it was
163: accessed. The i/o operation is not recoverable.
164: .PP
165: \fBup%d: not ready (flakey)\fR. The drive was not ready, but after
166: printing the message about being not ready (which takes a fraction
167: of a second) was ready. The operation is recovered if no further
168: errors occur.
169: .PP
170: \fBup%d%c: soft ecc reading fsbn %d[-%d]\fP.
171: A recoverable ECC error occurred on the
172: specified sector of the specified disk partition.
173: This happens normally
174: a few times a week. If it happens more frequently than
175: this the sectors where the errors are occurring should be checked to see
176: if certain cylinders on the pack, spots on the carriage of the drive
177: or heads are indicated.
178: .PP
179: \fBsc%d: lost interrupt\fR. A timer watching the controller detecting
180: no interrupt for an extended period while an operation was outstanding.
181: This indicates a hardware or software failure. There is currently a
182: hardware/software problem with spinning down drives while they are
183: being accessed which causes this error to occur.
184: The error causes a UNIBUS reset, and retry of the pending operations.
185: If the controller continues to lose interrupts, this error will recur
186: a few seconds later.
187: .SH BUGS
188: In raw I/O
189: .I read
190: and
191: .IR write (2)
192: truncate file offsets to 512-byte block boundaries,
193: and
194: .I write
195: scribbles on the tail of incomplete blocks.
196: Thus,
197: in programs that are likely to access raw devices,
198: .I read, write
199: and
200: .IR lseek (2)
201: should always deal in 512-byte multiples.
202: .PP
203: A program to analyze the logged error information (even in its
204: present reduced form) is needed.
205: .PP
206: The partition tables for the file systems should be read off of each
207: pack, as they are never quite what any single installation would prefer,
208: and this would make packs more portable.
