39.Sh NAME
40.Nm up
41.Nd unibus storage module controller/disk drives
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.Cd "sc0 at uba? csr 0176700 vector upintr
44.Cd "up0 at sc0 drive 0"
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46NOTE: This driver has not been ported from
47.Bx 4.4
48yet.
49.Pp
50This is a generic
51.Tn UNIBUS
52storage module disk driver.
53It is specifically designed to work with the
54Emulex
55.Tn SC-21
56and
57.Tn SC-31
58controllers.
59It can be easily
60adapted to other controllers (although bootstrapping will
61not necessarily be directly possible.)
62.Pp
63The script
64.Xr MAKEDEV 8
65should be used to create the
66.Nm up
67special files; consult
68.Xr mknod 8
69if a special file needs to be made manually.
70It is recommended as a security precaution to not create special files
71for devices which may never be installed.
72.Sh DISK SUPPORT
73The driver interrogates the controller's holding register
74to determine the type of drive attached.  The driver recognizes
75seven different drives:
76.Tn CDC
779762,
78.Tn CDC
799766,
80.Tn AMPEX DM Ns 980 ,
81.Tn AMPEX
829300,
83.Tn AMPEX
84Capricorn,
85.Tn FUJITSU
86160, and
87.Tn FUJITSU
88Eagle
89(the Eagle is not supported by the SC-21).
90.Pp
91Special file names begin with
92.Sq Li up
93and
94.Sq Li rup
95for the block and character files respectively. The second
96component of the name, a drive unit number in the range of zero to
97seven, is represented by a
98.Sq Li ?
99in the disk layouts below. The last component of the name, the
100file system partition, is
101designated by a letter from
102.Sq Li a
103to
104.Sq Li h
105which also corresponds to a minor device number set: zero to seven,
106eight to 15, 16 to 23 and so forth for drive zero, drive two and drive
107three respectively (see
108.Xr physio 4 ) .
109The location and size (in 512 byte sectors) of the
110partitions for the above drives:

187The up?a partition is normally used for the root file system,
188the up?b partition as a paging area,
189and the up?c partition for pack-pack copying (it maps the entire disk).
190On 160M drives the up?g partition maps the rest of the pack.
191On other drives both up?g and up?h are used to map the
192remaining cylinders.

200.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
201.Bl -diag
202.It "up%d%c: hard error %sing fsbn %d[-%d] cs2=%b er1=%b er2=%b."
203An unrecoverable error occurred during transfer of the specified
204filesystem block number(s),
205which are logical block numbers on the indicated partition.
206The contents of the cs2, er1 and er2 registers are printed
207in octal and symbolically with bits decoded.
208The error was either unrecoverable, or a large number of retry attempts
209(including offset positioning and drive recalibration) could not
210recover the error.
211.Pp
212.It "up%d: write locked."
213The write protect switch was set on the drive
214when a write was attempted.  The write operation is not recoverable.
215.Pp
216.It "up%d: not ready."
217The drive was spun down or off line when it was
218accessed.  The i/o operation is not recoverable.
219.Pp
220.It "up%d: not ready (flakey)."
221The drive was not ready, but after
222printing the message about being not ready (which takes a fraction
223of a second) was ready.  The operation is recovered if no further
224errors occur.
225.Pp
226.It "up%d%c: soft ecc reading fsbn %d[-%d]."
227A recoverable ECC error occurred on the
228specified sector of the specified disk partition.
229This happens normally
230a few times a week.  If it happens more frequently than
231this the sectors where the errors are occurring should be checked to see
232if certain cylinders on the pack, spots on the carriage of the drive
233or heads are indicated.
234.Pp
235.It "sc%d: lost interrupt."
236A timer watching the controller detecting
237no interrupt for an extended period while an operation was outstanding.
238This indicates a hardware or software failure.  There is currently a
239hardware/software problem with spinning down drives while they are
240being accessed which causes this error to occur.
241The error causes a
242.Tn UNIBUS
243reset, and retry of the pending operations.
244If the controller continues to lose interrupts, this error will recur
245a few seconds later.

251.Sh HISTORY
252The
253.Nm up
254driver appeared in
255.Bx 4.0 .
256.Sh BUGS
257A program to analyze the logged error information (even in its
258present reduced form) is needed.
259.Pp
260The partition tables for the file systems should be read off of each
261pack, as they are never quite what any single installation would prefer,
262and this would make packs more portable.
