6538.0. "RA450 and DWZZB" by TKOVOA::HOSOYAMA () Wed Apr 02 1997 03:05

Is it supported the RAID Array450 connection thru DWZZB-AA to HOST? 
(AlphaServer, Sun-ULTRA... they have Wide-SE SCSI connector)

I also want to know SWCC will work well or not.


Thanks in advance,

6538.1DWZZB should work but why?JULIET::SMITH_PWed Apr 02 1997 08:2211
    The RA450 interface is FWD SCSI and supports both the supplied PTI
    adapter (for Sun), KZPSA for Alpha and the Sun FWD Adapter.  I guess a
    FSE adapter through a DWZZB would work but why use it?  use the proper
    adapter and all is happy.
    
    SWCC supports all Digital platforms and the Standard MVD ones through a
    WNT or WIN95 GUI and the appropriate agent residing on the Host
    connected to StorageWorks products.  The currect shipping version of
    SWCC is 1.1B.

    Thank you Paul;

    My Customer want to save (PCI,S-bus)slots at their server.
    And also FWD SCSI Adapter is more expensive than the DWZZB in Japan!

    If the RA450+DWZZB works well, they becomes happy.
