Greetings,

I am looking to setup a small SAN composed of the following HW components
using Tru64 version 4.0G.
This is my first foray into SAN-land.

qty 1: Compaq SAN switch.
qty 2: Dual HSG80 Ra8000's.
qty 1: Ds10 alphaserver.
qty 1: Ds20e alphaserver.
qty 2: Fibre Channel HBA


Questions:
Do I need to buy any TRU64 special licenses/platform kits for this config?

Do the HSG80's need to be running a particular version of ACS software to
function in a SAN?
        (I have one HSG80 running V85G-0, Hardware E11 not in a SAN)

Do I need special software to configure the SAN switch?

Will a SAN like this support LINUX, AIX, Winnt 4.0, Winnt 2000 and Openvms
at the same time?


As usual, any comments, experiences and resources resources that could help
me with the research phase of this project would be appreciated.

Jim
