Hi,

   I was wondering if anyone was using a HP Disk Array Model 20 (A3389A or the
   newer A3550A with the new SP620 controller) on a HP3000 & MPE. Specifically:

   1.   After installation what use is a permanent console
   2.   What configuration is best (I believe that there are various types)
   3.   Can you use a "hot spare" drive in the array ?
   4.   Performance of 16mb cache v's 64mb cache
   5.   Any other details / experiences that you have had.

   There does not appear to be any Australian users of the Model 20 on
   MPE systems so I thought that I would ask the learned folks on HP3000-L.
   It also appears that you need MPE/iX 5.5 and Power Patch 1.
