[TriLUG] Sun RAID array

[Jonathan Hassell]

Hi, Mike

Thanks for the feedback and the welcome.  I look forward to making 
(hopefully) some positive contributions to the group.

My new U2 - well, it's new to me, anyway - has an UltraSCSI 68 pin 
interface on the back, so there should be no problems there.  (As an aside, 
I do have an old SPARCStation 5/170 which can be had for a reasonable 
price.  Just ask. :))

Furthering this discussion, it appears that what I've the opportunity to 
purchase is actually one of the disk trays that goes in this huge array. 
The e-mail message I received was misleading, but I'm wondering if it 
wouldn't still work.  Does the disk tray not have a SCSI connector that 
would be connected to the RSM 2000 controller?  Could one not just connect 
the disk tray to the host system via the host's external SCSI attachment? 
That would probably lose RAID functionality, but I'd be happy with a simple 
JBOD configuration.

Thanks again for your help.

Best regards,
Jon
