    Hello Admin Wizards,

    not strictly Tru64, but maybe I have a chance to find a hint here ...

    One of my old backup servers - DEC Alpha 1000/233 with the builtin Raid
    shelf (7x DEC 2 GB Diks on a Mylex Controller) has a problem I am unable
    to solve.
    The Raid5 set consists of 6 members, disk 7 is a hot spare. One of the
    Raid Members (Channel 1 Drive 0) failed, and the machine halted. No
    automatic rebuid.

    I started the swxcrmgr from disk and startet the rebuild manually
    (worked fine), the defect disk was set to FAIL.

    After trying to reboot, the system comes up until the lsm starts - then
    it says "DUMP: DRA0 [adress] [adress]" (repeated twice) and goes back to
    the srm prompt afterwards.

    Hm. Now I wonder what may have been happening here - is the controller
    defect?

    Anyone an idea?
