The Question is:
I'm wanting to move disks that were used under NT Alpha with the formatt of
NTFS to OPENVMS System running V7.2-1h1 (Alpha).
The problem that I'm having is using the DCL command INITILIZE and MOUNT:,
please see the text below. I remember reading some time ago about additional
steps that were required to initilize a disk that was formatted under ALPHA
NT. What am I missing????
Thanks for the HELP!

The Answer is :
To reuse a SCSI disk with OpenVMS, there are typically no steps expected
nor required -- beyond the usual disk INITIALIZE operation, that is.
Determine if the particular (unspecified) SCSI disk storage device is
at its current revision; update the storage device microcode and/or
firmware as necessary.
You can attempt the INITIALIZE/ERASE mechanism to clear the entire
contents of the target disk, but this initially appears to be specific
to the device -- the DATACHECK error indicates that the file structure
metadata was not as expected, which would imply either a problem with
OpenVMS or (arguably more likely) a problem with the specific disk
storage device or storage controller involved here.
Use of OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-2 or V7.3 (or later, as available) would be
recommended.
