Thank you to :

I am in the process of setting up a clustered DS20E solution, which is
using
RA3000 as the external storage. It's supported.
We are currently doing this with Tru64 V5.1; we hope to approach this
with 5.1a as soon as it's out of beta.

I have a quotation from a UK-based reseller which indicates that the
RA3000 is expected to be qualified for UNIX 5.1 "in the next few
weeks" (that was on March 5th).

Bonjour Daniel, I have looked on some of the internal support pages for
this enclosure and have found the following information.

I found this statement: Tru64 UNIX V5.0a only supports FC-AL.

The only controller mentioned as supporting V5.0 is the HSG80 with
HSOF/ACS
Version V8.4P
There may be other options, but I haven't been able to find them for
you.
:-(

Good luck!

So it seems supported but it's not written in Quickspecs or other Compaq

web sources.
