HP has made FW SCSI arrays available for the 9x9KS?
When did this happen? My co-worker was at a DRC conference
in Denver 2 weeks ago and was told HP did not offer/support
SCSI (hardware RAID) subsystems on the 3000 - actually, none
of the HP engineers or reps could find any part #'s... Our local
rep also has no clue. To date, the only solution we has been
presented with is an FL-array with Mirror/iX. Could you point
 me in the direction of some information for this? Also, if
anyone else has had eny experience with SCSI arrays on
9x9KS boxes, could you let me know if there has been
anything expectional about these (good or bad)...
 
horror story about failing C3010M's to follow...
 
*any* information would be greatly appreciated...
 
TIA,
