problem with SSP 7.5 in *M36 on a model 170 ...

Hi, All:

Someone I know is on-site this week-end trying to help a customer whose Advanced 36 *M36 running SSP 7.5 on a 170 is having a problem -- apparently a bad sector or block on the (virtualized) disk -- causing the nightly back-up to HALT with an error when it gets to the step where it wants to back up one particular library, which apparently contains a bad block or sector ...

I seem to recall there was a service aid or tool or procedure to mark a block or sector as "bad" to allow the system to be able to skip over the bad sector, so the back-up can then run to completion...

But, my expertise is very limited on SSP.

Can you recall how you might approach resolving such a problem?

From looking at some S/36 manuals, it appears that the BUILD procedure or the PATCH procedure might help?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions ...

Mark
