SWCC Compatibility Question
The Alpha has a RAID Array 230/Plus card installed. The software which came with the card (a few years ago) is called 'RAID Management Utility for OpenVMS v2.4', and the manual only mentions v6.1 & v6.2 OpenVMS.
I'm assuming this software is incompatible with 7.3-2 ?
I have looked on the HP web site and for this card now they are saying use SWCC v2.2 for OpenVMS.
Does anybody know if this will work with the Alpha running v7.3-2 & TCP/IP v5.4 ?
Does anybody currently use this software elsewhere ? Is it any good ? Any horror stories or success stories with it ? Any words of wisdom anyone can pass onto me ?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Re: SWCC Compatibility Question
That monitor will work on 7.3-2. I don't know what the latest version is, I'm running 2.0 which behaves.
That raid controller isn't the most flexible storage option, but it does the job and I still one in a production site running 7.3-2.

Re: SWCC Compatibility Question
Sorry, which monitor are you using under 7.3-2 ?
The SWCC or the old one which comes with the RAID card (which states v.6.x in the manual) ?
Cheers,
Jeff

Re: SWCC Compatibility Question
I wasn't aware SWCC could monitor a KZPAC (Raid 230 PCI card).

Re: SWCC Compatibility Question
When they last worked, I got this header:
**********************************************************************
* StorageWorks(TM) Raid Array 200 Management Utility *
* Version V1.1.5 *
**********************************************************************
when I saved a config printout. Is the v2.0 you mention later than this? At this time, I am going to have to shutdown the node and use the RA200RCU floppy-based program in order to see what is up on my controller and drives. I really hate that!
I do have a PCSI kit that is called "SWXCR-V0500". v5.0? But I believe it is the kit I used to install the software that generated the above banner...
My KZPSC and PZPAC cards have F/W v2.70 on them.

Re: SWCC Compatibility Question
I installed DEC-AXPVMS-SWXCR-V0300--1.PCSI on VMS Alpha V7.3-2 and V8.2 and it runs just fine.
The release notes say its V2.4 and the kit filename says its V3.0 and the image idents from ANALYZE/IMAGE are V1.0 so I'm not sure what version it is.

Re: SWCC Compatibility Question
This makes me feel more confident now about installing this vintage software on my Alpha.
Cheers,

Re: SWCC Compatibility Question
RAID Array 200 Software V4.0 for OpenVMS and mentions kits. DEC-AXPVMS-SWXCR-V0400--1.PCSI & DEC-AXPVMS-SWXCR-V0102--3.PCSI
Had no problems using SBB 24x9.1GB disks, the monitor function works just fine using $ SWXCR MONITOR device /MAIL=username /INTERVAL=10
Make sure you save the RAID card configuration somewhere.
It's been a long time, but I think the LUN limit is something like 32GB. We recently upgraded the disks and RAID card to a 5300a and boy do these babies fly :-)
Kind Regards,
John.

Re: SWCC Compatibility Question
It looks like this is a new as it gets from the roundup mentioned above. It is an old, retired product line after all...
NOTE: The PCSI kit, v1.02-3 is for OpenVMS v6.1 ONLY. Not "and older". You are supposed to use the little "Invoke_PCSI.com" instead of directly using PRODUCT. It sniffs around first and uninstalls old and IFF you are OpenVMS v6.1 does it install v1.02-3, otherwise it installs v5.0.
p.s. There is at least a one other thread on this topic in the past:
