Background:

My client is running an HP 957 on MPE/iX 6.0.  The system is configured with
a 2GB HP system disk (LDEV 1).  All user accounts/files are stored on an EMC
Symmetrix box with the HP's disk allocation configured as two 9GB volumes.

EMC has quoted $40,000 for next year's maintenance contract so the client
wishes to move the data to a portion of their IBM Shark array.

Questions:

1.  Does anyone know if I can even attach the HP to an IBM Shark array via
the  F/W SCSI card we have installed?  How would I configure the disks in
SYSGEN?

2.  What native HP disk array options are available that would provide me
equivalent RAID-5 storage and what are the likely costs, hurdles, etc?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

Glenn
