This is on a DS10 600 mhz running VMS 7.3-2.
I was trying to replace a disk. I installed it as DKA100 and tried to merge it into the shadowset.
When the merge is 99% complete it gets stuck and I get a SSRVTTERMCOPY message and a SSRVTTRMSTS message saying that the termination status is IVADDR invalid media address. (these message keep repeating till I dismount the disk I am trying to merge).
Any ideas?
This disk I installed is a new 146 GB disk and the shadowset is only 9 GB, but that should not matter, and I already tested the disk by merging it in another shadowset.
PS: I just had an idea while writing the message. There was a unrecoverable error on the disk I was trying to replace. That could mean the the good disk in the shadowset still maps around that error. This is similar to the situation in
this ECO where IVADDR occurs.

That ECO dates from 2003, and I have VMS721_SHADOWING V5.0 shadowing installed in 2005. I wonder if that includes the ECO? I must have it unless I failed to get the latest patches in 2005.
I could save and restore the disk to try to get the shadow set to forget about the unrecoverable error, if that recall is causing the error.
But I am just guessing, I dont know how a shadow set handles an unrecoverable error on one of its members.
