6461.0. "Dual HSZ50 + HSD50 support in SW800?" by ZPOVC::LAICHAN () Mon Mar 10 1997 02:52

Hi there,

The configuration required a mixed clusters, an AlphaServer 4000 5/466 and an
existing VAX 4795A. This is a mixed SCSI/DSSI clusters with a SW800 
StorageWorks Data Center Cabinet for future expansion. Is the config below 
supported with dual HSZ50 and HSD50 for redundancy?

			SW800 DATA CENTER CABINET

Can I config a rackmount RAID Array 450 for the 20 RZ29B-VW and the tape 
devices in the separate top shelves? The RAID 450 can only support 2 x HSZ50. 
How do I configure the dual HSD50 for the DSSI connection to the VAX?

Appreciate any info, pointer for the above configuration requirement.

Thanks.

Lai Chan
