Philipp,

The load source drive is in the bottom position (device position 1,
numbered from bottom upwards) on the 9404 B/D/E/F models.
The disk cage in that position could contain either or or two drives,
depending on the model you have.  (Could be a single 315MB, or single or
dual 320MB, 988MB or 1031MB drives).

Unit reference code 2507 - B982 is:
        A tape or disk reported a failure.  (but you already found that
out).

SRC B1xx 1934 is:
        IPL command rejected; LID not found on load-source.

Apart from requiring the load source drive in device position 1, the
system should be able to figure out where the remaining disks are during
the IPL based on serial number (using the hardware config stored on the
load source drive).

You could copy data from the disks using DST and the tasks for disk
recovery.  You can use the disk recovery tools to copy one disk to
another.  You should be able to load an entire disk image to another drive
using DST, as long as the "to" drive you are restoring to is empty, and is
the same or higher capacity than the drive you saved from.
You could go via tape, or I think as long as the load source drive is in
place, you could place the drive you want to copy from in say device
position 2, and the one you are copying to in device position 3, then use
the DST recovery tasks to copy the data.

Hello Neil,

Tom Hanson gave me a similar hint privately, I did function 12 and got a
B982.
I unmounted the disk cages and found that one of the disks was not
rotating.
After some "good words" and a little clap its running again making ugly
noises
smoetimes) but there we go.
Three questions remain: model E10 has three bays at the front side to
carry disk-
cages (that old plastic kind of double disk-drive boxes), which one is for
the load-
source, I thought its the downmost one ... ?
I got two cages with two disks each, took out my one and only cage to put
in the
customers disks and expected the machine to IPL. Sadly, they forgot to
mark the
cage with the loadsource, so I don't know if I mixed them.
If I put them in the other order, I get SRC B100 1934, I guess (without
the manual)
this is "load source not found".
How can I copy that data from the disks ?
I have four spare drives of same type (0663) left over from another
machine,
could I do a diskcopy  through DST ?

ANY help appreciated, Philipp Rusch
