226.0. "STK --> VAX Connection" by LUX03::FORGIARINI () Fri Jan 24 1997 07:57

	Hi,

	I've a customer who wants to connect his 3 VAX Clusters
	to storage TEK silo's.
	As it is not possible to order TC44's anymore
	they came up with 2 different solutions:
	
	A) connecting CNT Boxes (SCSI --> FIPS) to the HSJ40's.
	
	B) Put an AXP into 1 Cluster and then KZPSA --> CNT Box
	   use SLS and RTF to access this tapes from the other system's

		1) Does someone has experience with such config's ??
		2) is it working ( 3rd Party tape drives on HSJ40) ??
		3) Is there an other way to connect STK --> VAX ??
		4) Is this a supported config ?

	Is there a follow-up Product like the TC44 ?

Fogga,

You need to talk to the appropriate product managers and/or their managers.

Martyn Worman @REO, reports to Steve Mackey @REO

Rich Bohn @MKO, reports (probably on storage at least) to Brian Keavney @MKO

I am not in CSS Storage anymore, so i am a bit out of date, but i dont think any
of these solutions are qualified!!!
