Once again I am having a problem with our uVAX/uVMS system
and in need of help from kind souls of this newsgroup.

Here is the scenario: We wanted to add a second fixed disk (RD53)
to our microVAX-II/microVMS-4.5 system. We got the disk installed,
and it showed up as DUA1 correctly with "$SHOW DEVICES" command.
However, we could not get it mounted. When we tried to initialize it
(with "INITIALIZE"), we got "write check" kind of error message;
when we tried to mount it without first initializing it, there was
"no home block" kind of error message.

I have no idea why this is happening (we do not have "SYSTEM
MANAGER'S MANUAL" here). Could somebody out there who knows an
answer help me out, and tell me what I should do to reconfigure
the system when new devices are added?

Reply by email is preferred since this problem is probably not
of general interest. Thanks a lot in advance.
