Dana,

This is from an internal support document:

 Note that the support of SCSI Disk on CIO Systems does NOT extend to
all Disk
 models.  The current line of SCSI disks, C2461/62/73/74 ("Coyote III"),
will
 NOT be supported on CIO systems via the CIO SCSI I/O card (P/N
27251A).  This
 is due to technical problems uncovered during our certification
testing.  (CIO
 systems are the S925, S935, S949, S950, S955, S960 and S980/x00.)

The issue is NOT with 5.0, 5.5 or any specific version of the OS. I
believe that the reason was/is firmware compatibility issues with the
CIO SCSI card (based upon the fact that they are supported on NIO
SCSI).  These decisions were made 4+ years ago (around 3.0 days?) so the
specifics are a little vague in my mind...

Bottom line:  Don't use these drives on a 950.

Your HP RCE should be easily able to find the above via KDB; sales reps
might have a bit harder time...
