2552.0. "HOW MANY RZ29B-VWs in a DEMI-SABLE" by DEKVC::YOUNGSEOBLEE () Fri Mar 07 1997 05:41

Hello,

I'd like to know how many RZ29B-VW drives can be supported in the internal
storage shelf  in DEMI-SABLE(2000-4/275).
We installed 7 * RZ29B-VWs in a internal shelf at our customer with raid5,
but we encountered 1 RZ29B drive had gone to fault state and we replaced
it with new one and then, unfortunately we encountered the same problem 
with another RZ29B-VW the next day.we found the RZ29B drives were so hot

I know RZ29* drive makes too much heat itself and DEMI-SABLE has no cooling
fans in the internal shelf.

Are the any restrictions in installing RZ29B-VW drives in a internal shelf
in DEMI-SABLE?

Thanks in advanced.

    No matter what anybody says, I think you have answered your own
    question.  The only difference (whether officially supported or not) is
    that one scenario has DIGITAL paying for the replacement drives.
    
    Sorry I have not been truly helpful...

2552.2Any more informations?DEKVC::YOUNGSEOBLEEMon Mar 10 1997 00:1514
Hello,
    
To avoid the RZ29B-VW's overheating problem, we installed 4 RZ29B-VWs
in the odd number slots in internal shelf , and we couldn't find the
overheating problem anymore.
Does this mean it's impossible to install RZ29B-VWs above 5 in the internal
shelf in DEMI-SABLE?
Any restrictions or any rules in installing RZ29s in internal shelf 
in DEMI-SABLE(2000-4/275) again?

Thanks in advanced.
