263.0. "RZ29 on DEC 3000-800? VMS version?" by MANM01::NOELGESMUNDO () Mon May 05 1997 04:50

    Hello!
    
    We have this customer who wanted to upgrade their disk capacity. They
    have a DEC 3000-800 clustered with a DEC 2000-300 (satellite) running
    under OVMS V6.1. They currently have RZ26Ls and some RZ28M in the cpu
    box and BA350 expansion box. They are now contemplating of upgrading
    their system disk (RZ26L) to a RZ29 drive and most probably the other
    RZ26 disks as well.
    
    I have come across some documents in COMET which state that RZ29 is
    supported by VMS 6.1 but did not specifically mention DEC 3000. Note
    35.2 lists the different devices and the minimum O/S versions support
    but no remark on RZ29 under VMS.
    
    My question is - what disks are supported in DEC 3000-800? What are the
    upgrade paths for DEC 3000 and DEC 2000 in terms of disks capacity,
    memory or cpu?
    
    Thanks.
