The following does not appear to be a problem. But for my own edification I
would like to now WHY ???

Installing a used HASS "Jamaica" A3312A drive enclosure with (2) 9GB FWD
SCSI-2 drives. (928RX - MPE 6.0 PP 2). Both drive modules appear to be the
same part number "A5238A"

I configured both drives in SYSGEN as "ST39236LC" as per instructions from
HP support.

     io> ld 2/3
 LDEV:     2  DEVNAME:                    OUTDEV:        0   MODE:

   ID: ST39236LC                          RSIZE:       128   DEVTYPE: DISC

 PATH: 56/40.1.0                          MPETYPE:       4   MPESUBTYPE:  2

CLASS: DISC     SPOOL



 LDEV:     3  DEVNAME:                    OUTDEV:        0   MODE:

   ID: ST39236LC                          RSIZE:       128   DEVTYPE: DISC

 PATH: 56/40.2.0                          MPETYPE:       4   MPESUBTYPE:  2

CLASS: DISC     SPOOL



But when I do a DSTAT ALL it shows a different Ldev-Type for Ldev 2.

:dstat all
 LDEV-TYPE            STATUS    VOLUME           VOLUME SET - GEN
 ----------           -------   ----------------------------------
    1-C2490AM         MASTER    MEMBER1          MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET-0
    2-ST39175LC       MEMBER    IPM_B_2          MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET-0
    3-ST39236LC       MEMBER    IPM_B_3          MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET-0

IODFAULT .PUB .SYS indicates "ST39175LC" and "ST39236LC" are both 9GB Wide /
Differential SCSI devices with exactly the same configuration parameters.
They appear to be working fine.

I am curious how / why the HP3000 decided Ldev 2 was a different type. Does
this indicate the drive inside the module is actually a different model and
the HP3000 is picking up a different ID? Is there any potential problem with
this difference?
