Hi Gurus,
Many thanks to our good friends Dr. Tom Blinn, Alan_at_nabeth,
Arrigo Triulzi, Manish Vashi and Joe Fletcher. After checking
if the disk could be seen from the console prompt with
>> sho dev
or from the root prompt
# scu scan edt
# scu show edt
we found out that it could not. This means that this RZ1 Ultra
scsi series is not compatible with our fossil narrow scsi system.
According to Joe the further we can go in the BA350 shelf would
be with the RZ29VA series. In conclusion, Compaq sold us a wrong
disk!
Cheers,
