Hi
I have smart array 5302 A/128 controller for Alpha server DS20,do you think this controller is sported to true64 unix os v5.1B.

what size The smart array 5302 A/128 controller is limited to a logical drive?

I asked you these questions because I want to pay smart array 5302 A/128 controller and this true64 unix os v5.1B so that I want to confirm these information before I pay.

bye

read the installation guide page 2-5:
After the controller is installed, cable each of the controllerâ s ports to either external or internal storage enclosures.
If your system contains both types of storage enclosures, cable your Smart Array controller to the internal enclosures first. Be careful not to cable any one port to both an internal and external storage enclosure.

also from the installation guide page2-3:

Note: Do not attempt to create a logical volume greater than 1TB, which is the maximum size supported by OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX.

Hi everybody,
I have smart array 5302 A/128 controller for Alpha server DS20.
the supported enclosure for this controller is BA610-6D internal disk cages and are only supported with Nile logic cards P/N 3R-A1629-AA/010615-001 of rev.0B.

How to check that I have BA610-6D internal disk cages which only supported with Nile logic cards P/N 3R-A1629-AA/010615-001 of rev.0B. in our DS20E server?
