321.0. "SCSIcluster more than 6 shared buses" by GOYA::GALAN () Thu Mar 13 1997 07:34

    I have read the maximum SCSI buses per system is 6 in a OVMS SCSI
    cluster. We want to configure an AS8400 SCSI cluster with 10 shared
    buses.
    
    Is this number, 6, to be bigger in the future?
    Is this number a qualified configuration, but there are not problems in
    having 10 shared buses?
    Is there any problem at all to have 10?
    
    Thanks,
    Ana Galan

   The VMScluster conference is located at SPEZKO::CLUSTER.

   The first spot for "is it supported?" should be the software product
   description (SPD), the VMScluster SPD in this situation.  The SPDs are
   located in the distribution directories mentioned in the low-numbered
   notes (8.* and 9.*) in this notes conference.

   However, as this involves futures and a customer's questions about an
   "unusual" configuration, you will want to contact Nick Carr (STAR::NCARR),
   the VMScluster product manager, directly.
