6619.0. "superdrive groups in RCU" by JGODCL::BRINKS (Peter Brinks, DTN 7889-9458 Logist. Eng/Tr Nijmegen) Thu Apr 24 1997 07:45

    On the mylex controller,
    DACCF can assign so-called superdrive groups, if two
    groups are sequentially arranged.
    
    Can this / will this be done within RCU (on Alpha's) as
    well? Are the superdrive groups a feature of the conf
    utility (daccf/rcu) or of the firmware?
    
    Peter.

	Peter, If my memory serves me ok, the RCU-utilities (SWXCRMGR, SRLMGR) do NOT allow DRIVE SPANNING as is possible with DACCF. I think the functionality of this kind of stuff is ALL in the firmware of the controller, BUT it's the Configuration-utility that "customizes" some of the features. Jan
