530.0. "PCM on AlphaStations ??" by 17219::LEEDS (From VAXinated to Alphaholic) Thu Dec 22 1994 02:27

Does PCM now support the AlphaStation 200 4/166 or 4/233 with OSF/1 ?

Any configuration issues if so ??

Also, the customer is concerned with high availability of the PCM system. 
Can we mirror/shadow the disks on the PCM system with LSM ??

	> Does PCM now support the AlphaStation 200 4/166 or 4/233 with OSF/1 ? Are you saying can it be a PCM host or a managed system? If a PCM host. I can see no reason why not, although we have not the facilities to have tested this. As to being a manages system. The only thing I can say is that if the console can be redirected to a serial port with no ill effects it can be managed. The only known caveat is that OSF/1 will not halt from a break/ctrl P, but that is the same for any OSF system. > Also, the customer is concerned with high availability of the PCM system. > Can we mirror/shadow the disks on the PCM system with LSM ?? I can see no reason why not as we do our I/O via normal fwrite() to the filesystem so we don't need any special facilities and LSM should be well below us. Needless to say not ever been tried. Hope that helps. Cheers Simon....

Only reason I ask is that the new AlphaStations require some special hardware release of OSF/1 (I think it's something like 3.0-H4), and wanted to make sure there are no compatability issues. Also, since the AlphaStations are not yet listed in the PCM SPD, it never hurts to ask. This customer has been severly burned recently with OSF release and hardware issues, so we don't want to do it to them again. Thanks Arlan
