hi ,

I have a machine running HPUX-10.20 with 2 * 2 GB , 1 * 9GB .

This system has a Single ended SCSI Controller. so you can go for any Seagate / XXX Single ended SCSI Disks.

While creating vg use -e option so that enough pes are created

Remember that although any single-ended drive will work in the two storage bays for the E45, HP will only support their own drives.

What you may want to do is hang some external disk off the two HP-PB slots off the back of the E45. A single-ended card (28656A) is half-height and takes up one HP-PB slot, or you can use a Fast-Wide Differential card (28696A) which will take up both slots. Using the FWD card you can then use disk arrays and the like.

Good luck!

I work for a refurbished HP hardware company and can work up a quote for some storage options.
