    Hi:

    About a week ago we had an unplanned power outage that has affected one
    Seagate ST39173W 9GB drive. The disk is attached to a Compaq XP1000
    running OSF 4.0E. Since the power failure I haven't been able to get the
    drive online and am sort of stumped as to whether the disk is dead or if
    it still might be usable in some part. When booting the disk shows up on
    the console during boot time but returns an error code stating it is not
    ready. I then used scu from a command line prompt to try and verify the
    media and got the following:

    # scu -f /dev/rrz8c verify media
    scu: 'read capacity' failed, EIO (5) - I/O error
    scu: Sense Key = 0x2 = NOT READY - Logical unit is NOT ready,
         Sense Code/Qualifier = (0x4, 0) = Logical unit not ready, cause not
    reportable

    The error log then shows:

    # uerf -R | more
                                                      uerf version 4.2-011
    (122)
