1955.0. "1000a supported yet?" by GOONS::SWIGG (Tom Swigg Learning Services) Tue Mar 18 1997 10:11

    Hi, I'm trying to spec a cheap, cheerfull and supported Trucluster
    config. In earlier notes mention is made of support for the alphaserver
    1000a being in a qualification stage (ref the url to a status report
    dated about 6 months ago) The V1.4 SPD does not mention AS1000a so
    I presume it is not supported. Is this strictly true as there is at
    least one note mentioning Trucluster V1.4/DUNIX V4.0b running on 
    AS 1000a.
    Maybe the 1000a is not the cheapest supported config? I need two X two
    systems for Trucluster Training purposes.
    Any advice gratefully received.
    Thanks
    Tom

1955.1	1000A support	NETRIX::"[email protected]"	Christine Sarkisian	`Wed Mar 19 1997 10:34`	21
	Hi Tom - At this point, the TruCluster Available Server (failover) supports the AS 1000A. That must be what you saw in that one note. However, the TruCluster Production Server (parallel db offering) does not support the 1000A as of yet. We have been in qualification and fix mode for this for some time now. I am assuming that support will come in April for the Production Server. If you want a smaller box, the AS 800 is shipping and we will support it with both the Available Server and Production Server products at the end of April 1997. Thanks - Christine [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
1955.2	AS800?	GOONS::SWIGG	Tom Swigg Learning Services	`Thu Mar 20 1997 06:32`	3
	Thanks for the info. I cant find a reference to the AS800 do you mean AS300? Regards Tom
1955.3	Either way, 300 or 800	16.181.128.8::jpt	FIS and Chips	`Thu Mar 20 1997 10:33`	4
	> Thanks for the info. I cant find a reference to the AS800 do you AlphaServer 800 is new low end server and FRS is end of March with volume at April.
1955.4	300	16.181.128.8::jpt	FIS and Chips	`Thu Mar 20 1997 10:35`	8
	One more thing: AlphaServer 300 with it's two (2) PCI slots is not major candidate for TruCluster Prod.Server cases. Totally different thing is that there seems to be demand for MC support on _all_ workstations...for HPC farms you know.
