Hitachi MK-96RD647-01 manual Write label failed

Note 1: For further information on Solaris cylinder partition sizes, please refer to the Hitachi TagmaStore USP and NSC LUN Expansion and Virtual LVI/LUN User's Guide (MK-94RD205), and the Hitachi TagmaStore USP and NSC Sun Solaris Configuration Guide(MK-94RD236)

•Volume labels. An FX volume with a volume label cannot be shared between open-system platforms which use volume labels. Table 3-6shows the allowable configurations for sharing FX volumes between open-system platforms for the TagmaStore USP and NSC subsystems. Table 3-7shows the allowable configurations for sharing FX volumes between open-system platforms for the TagmaStore USP and NSC subsystems. HP-UX and IBM AIX do not use volume labels, so FX volumes can always be shared with these platforms. Labels are optional for DIGITAL UNIX/Tru64 and Windows 2000/2003/Windows NT, so FX volumes can be shared with these platforms only if they have no label. Solaris always writes volume labels, so FX volumes can never be shared between these two platforms, but can be shared with the other platforms (HP, IBM, DIGITAL UNIX/Tru64, NT) as long as they do not have labels.

Note: Solaris may display the following warning messages when formatting and labeling an FX volume. This is normal, and the user can ignore these messages.

Warning: error writing VTOC

Warning: no backup labels

Write label failed

3.For UNIX hosts, make sure to set up the desired access privileges for each FX volume (e.g., using groups and/or chmod command). Please refer to the OS user documentation for information on access permission rights. For Windows 2000/2003/Windows NT, Administrator access is required to access the FX volumes.

4.On the z/OS host, make sure to initialize and write the VTOC for each FXmto and FXotm volume to enable the z/OS host to access the volumes. The ICKDSF media maintenance utility can be used to perform these tasks.

5.After FAL/FCU software installation, make sure to format each FXoto volume using the FX Formatter (FMT) utility on the UNIX/ Windows NT host. This enables the FXoto intermediate datasets to be allocated.
