Can i install HP-UX to boot directly from a RAID 5 made in a 4Si controller

Hi

Yes, the 4Si controller seems to be bootable.

Hello,

Answer is yes.

For N-Class (rp7400), this is supported since PDC version 40.49

For L1000/2000 (rp5400/5450), this is supported since PDC ver. 40.48

For L3000 (rp5470), this is supported for all PDCs.

You have to use HP-UX 11.00 or 11i for this to be true.

Hello,

There is a configuration software named "irm" with which you can do all your configuration work for the card.
