2563.0. "5/375 only supported on 2100A not 2100 for OpenVMS 7.1?" by KEIKI::WHITE (MIN(2�,FWIW)) Thu Mar 27 1997 15:31

    
    	Could someone explain to me why the 490XR-UA is not supported on
    the 2100 but is on the 2100A for OpenVMS? I have a customer that
    doesn't need the Extra PCI slots but just needs Maximum single stream
    performance with a single CPU, no SMP. 
    
    	I recommended the 490XR-UA but when looking in the OpenVMS 7.1
    SPD it only shows the 5/375 as supported on the 2100A? There was no
    note (gotcha) in the SOC forthe trade-in upgrade for this option
    about this restriction.

	Refer to VAXAXP::ALPHANOTES entry #79.* for more. It still stands as of today (15-APR-1997). Mitz PS. Our customer actually purchased 490XR-UA and attempted upgrade his A2100-4/275 and had troubles with VMS.

We have never seen any problems with Gammaray single CPU configurations. - Jim Janetos OPenVMS Systems Group =================================================== <<< Note 2563.2 by KAOFS::M_NAKAGAWA >>> -< See ALPHANOTES entry #79.* >- Refer to VAXAXP::ALPHANOTES entry #79.* for more.

2563.4	MC660	KAOFS::M_NAKAGAWA		`Tue Apr 22 1997 01:33`	13
	re: .-1 Our case, system halted with "HALT CODE 06" during boot. (it was not HALT CODE 05 but 06 according to customer) I asked customer to test CPU at console level by ">>> TEST CPU0" , it failed solidly with MC660. It looked like a hardware problem with the new CPU but register dump did not have any error bit anywhere(ie.. CPU, I/O, MEMORY). After getting failure we did ">>> SHOW STATUS", ">>> SHOW FRU" but none of them showed error counts either. Mitz
2563.5	OpenVMS Not Supported on GammaRay (5/375)	XDELTA::HOFFMAN	Steve, OpenVMS Engineering	`Thu May 01 1997 14:56`	13
	OpenVMS is not supported on the GammaRay (5/375) Processor module on any member of the Sable series of platforms: 2000, 2100, 2100A. This is a result of a technical restriction outside the control of the OpenVMS engineering team. The OpenVMS V7.1 and V6.2-1H3 SPDs are in error in this area, and this error is presently being corrected. For further information, please contact Bill Hanley, the OpenVMS product manager that is handling this question, directly.
