    I tried booting an installation CD of both version 5.0 and 5.1B of Tru64
    on the second DS10 in the cluster, which has no local disks. The
    installation couldn't find them either, despite them showing up in the
    show dev on the console. It printed this message several times:

    device_translate: device cannot be translated 'RAID'
    prom_getenv: Unable to convert 'RAID 0 15 0 0 0 0 0'

    Then exited with:

    Error:
    <Press RETURN for more>:
    This system appears to have no disks. The installation procedure
    requires at least one disk. If there is a disk in the system, you
    should confirm that it is properly connected, and then start the
    installation procedure again from the ">>>" prompt. If you have
    already done this, contact a customer service representative.

    The show dev from SRM again shows the disks being there:

    >>>show dev
    dka500.5.0.16.0 DKA500 HSZ22 d11x
    dka501.5.0.16.0 DKA501 HSZ22 d11x
    dka502.5.0.16.0 DKA502 HSZ22 d11x
    dqa0.0.0.13.0 DQA0 COMPAQ CDR-8435 0013

    ewb0.0.0.11.0 EWB0 08-00-2B-86-27-01
    pka0.6.0.16.0 PKA0 SCSI Bus ID 6 5.57
    pkb0.7.0.17.0 PKB0 SCSI Bus ID 7 5.57
    >>>

    Has anyone seen the above message before?

    Thanks,

    Tom
