271.0. "Prioris XL Server & Mylex DAC 960 PL" by VAXSPO::MOREIRA () Mon May 12 1997 17:38

    WAS CROSS-POSTED IN DECSTATION CONFERENCE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,

   I have a local integrator that bought a Prioris XL Server 5200, without
Mylex DAC 960 card. This integrator bought a RAID Kit from Mylex wich came
with one PCI Controller Mylex DAC 960 PL (Bios V. 2.06) and disks (I don't
know sizes of these disks).

   He has using Quick Launch V. 2.1 and can't see the controller. Quick
Launch loads the drivers for Mylex (DAC 960 only) but doesn't recognize
the controller and/or disks. If he boots the machine, skip the RAID 
Controller Drivers load and load the software that came with Raid Controller
960 PL, he can see the controller, disks and work fine.

   Does Prioris XL Server 5200 supports this controller ?  Have any newer
Quick Launch to work with this controller ? Is this controller certified ? 

   Any information will be apreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Again, the answer is that the customer/integrator did not purchase 
    the DAC through Digital, (which would have had the correct firmware
    and BIOS to support the product)  MCS/PCBU assumes no responsibility
    to make this work under product warranty. Have the Customer call Mylex.

    The Mylex controllers that Digital PCBU Supports are listed at 
    
    http://akin40.ako.dec.com/dataroot/Options/OptionsHome.htm
    
    Select options vs drivers, and the Mylex are at FR-PCTAR-XX.
    
    Hope this helps,
