692.0. "HSZ50 & RAID 450 Support in V1.1 & SP2?" by MKOTS3::HAHN (SBU Americas Technical Support Group) Mon Mar 17 1997 14:53

Could someone from NT Clusters engineering confirm whether the following
features are officially supported by the versions mentioned:

1) Dual HSZ50s
	- NT Clusters V1.0 w/ SP2 ?
	- NT Clusters V1.1 ?

2) RAID Array 450
	- NT Clusters V1.0 w/ SP2 ?
	- NT Clusters V1.1 ?

A few notes in this conference imply that these are supported configurations.
However, I just read through the Release Notes found on the web (which covers 
both SP2 and V1.1), but there was no mention of HSZ50 or RAID 450 at all.


Thanks, 
 Dave

>Could someone from NT Clusters engineering confirm whether the following

  Since no one in the engineering group has responded I'll confirm
  the inquiry.
  
  Yeah, the HSZ50 and SW450 (or RA450) are supported on both Alpha
  and Intel based Clusters. I saw this documented (somewhere) and
  thought it was in the release notes.


  I've also requested that support.doc gets updated. btw, you can get
  a good deal of info on storageworks products supported on nt
  clusters at ...

  http://www.imc.das.dec.com/swrks/homepage/teamnt/index.htm

  hunting around the hotlinks yields some decent info.

    Do you mean yes/no
    Standalone: Yes NT4.0
    
    
    Clustering: NT 4.0 does not yet support the HSZ50..
    now this is the confusing part, it mentions NT4.0, Clusterkit 1.1 Svp2 
    not sure if that means you got to have all these bits to equal a yes.

     I checked with storageworks and confirmed that the hsz50
     (ra450) is supported with NT 4.0 and NT clusters. 

     The info on that FAQ is abit confusing if not inaccurate.
     The StorageWorks engineer said it will be revised very soon.

	How about dual (redundant) HSZ50(RA450)configuration?

  Considering the number of inquires here and for completeness sake, 
  the supported hsz based products on windows NT...

     hsz20 (sw310/ra310)
     hsz40 (sw410/ra410)
     hsz50 (sw450/ra450)

  ... requires the device driver hszdisk.sys

     The current version of hszdisk.sys for nt4.0 is v3.02
     The current version of hszdisk.sys for nt3.51 is v2.71

     If you don't have the latest versions, they can be acquired
     via the web. see note 704.1 for pointers.

     please note that the infamous rev matrix document called
     support.doc does not yet reflect this.
692.7external pointer?MPOS01::naiad.mpo.dec.com::mpos01::cerlingI'[email protected]Fri Mar 28 1997 09:196
	Is there an external pointer for hszdisk.sys?  I looked at the
	www.windows.digital.com site where there are pointers for other
	drivers, but I did not see hszdisk.sys.

692.8Ultra SCSI and 9GB diskTKOVOA::SASAKI_HFri Mar 28 1997 23:375
	As a storage device, 9GB disk and Ultra SCSI are supported on
	NT Cluster V1.1??? (Maybe not yet...)
