I'm starting the image restore and now I have a problem that the

are "not software enabled".
I'm not sure but I think I recall getting that error when trying to

disk that had media problems :-(
Yes, so are the hints in the manuals.
.. but I've erased and verified thoses disks with the Utilities on them
(>>> set host/dup/DSSI/bus:0 0 params)
and that verify came up w/o errors. I had one disk that would'nt spin up
after power up and I've repaired that disk with an rubber hammer :-)
(Reported that months before) ..but taht I'snt the disk I'm trying to
install.
I've used the RF Series Integrated Storage Element Users Guide
(http://computer-refuge.org/classiccmp/dec94mds/rf72dug8.pdf)
to do this and in this moment I've run Verify again:
LBN Statistics:
0 Total Block(s) in error
Complete
..Hmm
So I think I missed one step, a logical format or so... on the other
side
I can find no hints what that could be..
My tries to install produces the same errors on the two RF31 disks,
haven't tried to install on the RF71 but could do this, they are all
empty.

Tried the RF71 and it worked!
Good.
After the successful backup the Backup asked for a "YES" if I would do
additional actions and I've tried DIA0 agin wich resulted in the same
errors.
As I would have expected. That drive didn't change just because you
installed to another drive.
So I think I must have done something different wit that DSSI DUP utiliy.
I disagree. The disk drive is in a state which you need to clear. The
question is how you clear it. But since you now have VMS installed
somewhere, I'm sure VMS can help you clear the state for that disk.
Now I'll be snarky, but just for a single paragraph, Holm... :-)
Did you ever actually read the full ISE Users Guide manual? Check page
3-7 to 3-12. There you actually have the manual talk about both the
software write protect and the hardware write protect. In this context I
believe you are going to play with the hardware write protect.
Ignore my previous comment about the write protect button, as the RF31
apparently do not have one. It's all done through firmware instead.
Check if there are any other parameters that looks like they might be
related as well.
