1736.0. "CI cluster and Gigaswitch" by CTSNRG::SCHEID () Wed Jul 05 1995 12:42

        I would like to connect 7 XMI-CI VAXcluster nodes to a Gigaswitch. Each
        VAXcluster node will have an XMI-FDDI controller and be SAS
        connected to a Gigaswitch 4 Port SAS Line Card. I know that the 
        VAXcluster software requires that all CI nodes share a 10MB ethernet 
        (for some reason that I do not understand). Since the Gigaswitch is 
        really a multi-port bridge and each VAX connected via FDDI will really
        be a different FDDI ring ... will the VAXcluster software experience
        problems as a result of this or not ...
    
    
    
        Any help would be appreciated ...
    
    
        I have also posted this in the Gigaswitch and VAXcluster notes
        conferences.
