<<Now, we realized we own some older equiptment that we dont want anymore
and are considering trading the old equiptment for 2 or 4 more f/w 4GB
drives - obviously, to add ot the mirrored array. This would give us a
maximum of 5 devices on each of our two f/w channels. Suddenly, our SSE
claims that HP does not recommend more than *3* devices on a f/w channel
 - or shazam! there goes our performance. Does anyone have any insight on
this?>>
 
Yeah: what the **** is s/he smoking? ;-)
 
We've got 5 of the 4GB drives on each of our Wide SCSI channels, mirrored
with Mirrored Disk/iX--works like a champ. I think your SE must be
confused.
