OSF Managers,
Concerning RAID on the 2100,
We have this configuration: 2100 4/200, 1cpu, 256 MB Ram, 2 2Gbyte
rz28 drives configured as ADVFS and 8 Gbytes Level 5 RAID (5 rz28 storage-
works drives in shelf utilizing the SWXCR-EB 3 channel RAID built-in RAID
controller). The system including the ADVFS has not given me any
problems, but the RAID, which was being used for some NFS performance test-
ing, dropped out twice with hardware failure messages. In my case I had no
real data out there so I used the Raid Config Utility to reinitialize the
RAID array, and then everything was fine!!. Presently, I would not recommend
utilizing the RAID array for user disk space due to this. I am hoping to
here more about this from this mail list. By the way I stopped the NFS
testing for other reasons, so it is not as if the problem has gone away.
