266.0. "Dual path CI requirements?" by SNOFS1::RASMUSSEN () Sun Mar 02 1997 23:21

    I am trying to ascertain whether a major site is indeed seeing the full
    potential of their CI ie. from a single CIXCD they are getting the
    potential of 140Mb rather than 70Mb of throuhput (yes...I know that
    protocol overheads etc means it will be < 140Mb). I would appreciate
    answers to the following so I can verify with their site: 
    
    1) What is the minimium version of OpenVMS that supports dual path?
    2) What is the minimium revision of the CIXCD required? I understand
       that their is a microcode/firmware dependency...what is that?
    3) What is the minimium version of HSJ40 required?
    
    Thanks and regards

    FYI the site has VAX 7820, HSJ40s and OpenVMS 5.5-2.

Disconnect one of the paths and see if it goes slower.
