| 1849.1 | Should be SWXRC-04 | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Steve Hancock | Wed Jan 29 1997 12:45 | 6 |

My mistake. Should be SWXRC-04.

| A swxcr can only be used for private storage on a system.
So the base os supports it, but it is not support as a cluster shared
device.
I think you should discuss with hardware or storage what the error
you are seeing is...I don't know off hand.

| Hi
If the swxxxx is an HSZ, it should be supported as a shared device...
So is this an HSZ40 or a PCI Raid controller?

| 1849.4 | That's what I want to know. | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Steve Hancock | Thu Jan 30 1997 09:08 | 12 |

That's the question I am asking. I know that an HSZ40 and HSZ50
are supported per the ASE 1.4 SPD. What I need to know is from
engineering's perspective, is a SWXRC-04 the same thing as an
HSZ40 since it runs the same firmware or not? If it is the same,
is it supported? And, has anyone seen the error in .0?

| Hi
I think the scsi id string (seen during boot, or via
scu show edt) is hsz40 or hsz50, you are all set...

| 1849.6 | SWXCR-04 != HSZ40 (but it's close) | SMURF::KNIGHT | Fred Knight | Fri Jan 31 1997 12:35 | 18 |
| NO, the SWXCR-04 is NOT supported. Neither in the base nor in ASE/TCR.
It is basically an HSZ40, but the S/W doesn't know that, so none of our
HSZ40 specific code gets used. If you want a supported HSZ40 then get
a HSZ40. If you want it to work (but continue to be unsupported) then
you must add device recognition. Without recognition you will get some
unexpected stuff happening (particularly around error events).
To add recognition, duplicate the HSZ40 entry, and change the name to
match what the SWXCR-04 returns for it's inquiry data.
This was not an oversight. The CXO product management specifically
made the decision to NOT support the SWXCR-04 on Digital UNIX. They
wanted support ONLY for the HSZ family. The SWXCR-04 was for the
off-base market, NOT for the on-base customers. We just did what
the H/W product management people told us to.
