Re: 5581 (5780) Installation - 2757 Cache Card

You can certainly do the "flush", it's like wearing both Belts and
Suspenders. By flushing it you are 100% guaranteed. I have just done a
clean shutdown and never had the problem.

Thats great, thanks Pete.

Is it worth also using the option to flush the cache card in DST (Work with Disk Units, Disk Unit Recovery Procedures, then the there is an option in there) or should I leave that well alone and just go with a clean shutdown?

You always want to insure that the machine comes down clean, and I guess the
warnings are that the cache is properly flushed from the existing cards.
That said, I usually do a ENDSBS *ALL first so that everything is ended, and
then do a PWRDWNSYS *CNTRLD with 180 seconds (this is just to make sure
everything is written to disk, and gives system plenty of time to come
down). Then, I just installed the card (usually trying to keep the cards
together) and put the cable from the 4th SCSI port (it's the furthest from
you when u have inserted the card into a 5094 tower) on the card and that is
it.
