6679.0. "Are our controllers Year 2000 compliant" by OTOOA::LAVIGNE () Mon May 12 1997 12:36

    Are our Controllers Year 2000 compliant and if so do we have any papers
    that states so   .  If not do we plan to be and will it simply be a
    firmware upgrade.
    
    Regards,

	For controllers, here's the information you seek. Year 2000 Storage compliance including leap year for hardware devices __________________________________________________________ A - Do they accept a date from controllers console B - Receive date information during initialization from host C - Can they accept dates beyond Dec 31, 1999 D - Roll the date over from Dec 31,1999 to Jan 1, 2000 on internal clock E - Can they print dates beyond Dec 31, 1999 F - Can they compute leap years beyond 1996 (29 February 2000) A B C D E F - - - - - - HS1CP Y Y Y Y Y Y HSD05 NA NA NA NA NA NA* HSD10 N Y Y Y Y Y HSD30 Y Y Y Y Y Y HSD50 Y Y Y Y Y Y HSCXX Y Y Y Y Y Y KDM70 N Y Y Y Y N** HSJxx Y Y Y Y Y Y CIPCA NA NA NA NA NA NA SWXNA Y Y Y Y Y Y SWXRC-04/05 Y Y Y Y Y Y HSZ20 Y Y Y Y Y Y HSZ40 Y Y Y Y Y Y HSZ50 Y Y Y Y Y Y * Does not have an internal clock ** reports: 01 March 2000 NOTE: The KDM70 (which has been EOLed for many years) does not report the leap day correctly in the year 2000.

For controllers, here's the information you seek.

      Year 2000 Storage compliance including leap year for hardware devices
        __________________________________________________________

A - Do they accept a date from controllers console
B - Receive date information during initialization from host
C - Can they accept dates beyond Dec 31, 1999
D - Roll the date over from Dec 31,1999 to Jan 1, 2000 on internal clock
E - Can they print dates beyond Dec 31, 1999   
F - Can they compute leap years beyond 1996 (29 February 2000)
