Thanks to all of the quick replies.
The consensus is that Trucluster 5.1 is fully supported on HSZ70
controllers. However, the controllers must be at firmware revision 7.7.
Thanks to Mathias for the following information:
hsz70 is fully supported for operation with v5.1 cluster.
For specifics see the hw config manual of v5.1 cluster which you can find
on the web (html and pdf)

(beware of line wrapping of this link)
in particular you may want to read chapter:
2.5 Raid Array Controller Restrictions
which indicates that you need to have hsz70 firmware version v7.7
and chapter:
3.7 Preparing the Ultra-SCSI Storage Configuration
which talks about how to setup hsz70/80 configurations.

All:
We are in the process of installing Trucluster 5.1 and I have 1 very basic
question. What is the recommended configuration as far as controllers are
concerned? We are currently using HSZ70's. I understand that Compaq is no
longer making firmware updates for the HSZ70. We are planning to go to
HSG80's but will a configuration with HSZ70's work for now?
Thanks,
Dawn Urey
