For those of you following this thread and thinking to yourselves, "Mod 20s
look painful and time consuming to implement", please keep in mind that you
can also have a full service hardware vendor do all of this configuring and
updating for you.  Yes, it may cost more, but then YOU won't have to do it.
 We have installed many of these that were literally plug and play ready
when they arrived at the site.  Someone does have to deal with the firmware
issues, etc., but we know how to do all that and can do it for you.  I'm
not saying that our way is the only way or the right way or that Tracy
should have done it differently...it's different strokes for different
folks..., I just don't want owners of HP 3000s scared away from Model 20s
because of this.  The Mod 20 is a WONDERFUL and inexpensive way to RAID
your disk, and can be integrated in quite painlessly.
