5279.0. "KZMSA- for shared SCSI?" by ZPOVC::JUSTIN () Thu Apr 10 1997 08:15

    
    Hi,
    	Will an A8400 with XMI/KZMSA-DWZZA combination work in a shared
    SCSI cluster enviroment VMS 6.2-1H3. Other node on the shared SCSI is
    an A8400 with PCI/KZPSA. They share a RAID 0+1 disk off the HSZ40.
    
    	Any short comings of such a config?

The KZMSA is very definitely not supported for SCSI Clustering.
(I seem to remember that the KZMSA doesn't even do Tagged Command Queueing,
so there's no chance of it working.)

    Any chance of using QLISP1020 off the KFTIA on the A8400?

None of the qLogic adapters are supported on multi-host SCSI buses.  There
are planns to introduce this capability on some future qLogic adapters, but
not the KFTIA.

    Thanks for the reply. Looks like we will be coughing up a DWLPB-AA.
