63.0. "8 x AS8400 sizing help needed." by JOBURG::HARRIS () Thu Feb 13 1997 16:21

Question: Have I gone over the top with the Dual DWLMA (XMI)?
Help! 
I need to do some sizing / arrange for some help to size.


Scenario: Propasal to replace (Then redeploy the 3 x VAX7000 & 1 x DEC7000)
TWO seperate Clusters, both via two seperate sets of gigaswitches to a 
DRP site.
Live System: Disk=654MB IN THREE SHADOW SETS = 102 + 51 =153RZ29B-VW disks  
Test System: Disk=51 x 4.3gb
And I will keep 1 Port on each HSJ52's free for Tapes and future TL82x's
I want to limit the number of disks to 4 or 5 in a BA356
All controllers must be dual redunadant.        
This list does not indicate the GIGAswitches (2 Live  & 2 Test) As this 
is being purchased thru a Network VAR. 

I attempted to try a similar config with HSZ's and PCI and KZPSA but having 
heard horror stories about the KZPSA with HSZ's, I put it on hold for now.

Our Propasal: 

Please feel free to comment, crit, throw mud, but most of all I am all too
willing to listen and learn.  Regards Ivan
