1934.0. "HSZ50+BN21N , supported ?" by ANNECY::HUGUENIN_JM () Tue Mar 11 1997 05:46

    Hello ,
    
    
    We are currently proposing HSZ50 + BN21H + BA35X-MG + BA356 .
    
    Can we replace BN21H + BA35X-MG by BN21N , is it supported ?
    
    Thanks in advance ,
    
     Best Regards ,
    
    
                        Jean-Marie.

Check out topic 856 to get a clear explanation about the SCSI cables.

A BN21H has two straight high density 50-pin connectors.  A BN21N has one straight
high density 50-pin connector, and one right-angled high density 68-pin connector.

If you need an example, we recently set up a two node cluster which - disk storage
wise - was configured as follows (N.B. this is a European config using metric
cabinets):
 4 * KZPSA-BB = PCI one port FWD SCSI controller
 4 * BN21W-0B = SCSI Y-cable, 68-pin, 2 female and 1 male connector
 4 * H879-AA  = external SCSI 68-pin, male 8-bit or 16-bit differential terminator
 4 * BN21K-03 = 3-meter 16-bit SCSI cable (external)
 2 * BA350-MB = StorageWorks controller shelves or HSZ50 - metric mounting kit
 2 * HSZ50-AF = HSZ50
 2 * H885-AA = SCSI tri-link connector, 68-pin, 2 female and 1 male connector
 6 * BN21H-02 = high density 50-pins SCSI cable (connects HSZ50 to BA356)
 6 * BA36R-JA = controller shelf kit (includes BA356 16-bit StorageWorks shelf)
 6 * BA35X-MG = 8-bit I/O module for the BA356 shelf to run 8- or 16-bit devices
                with 8-bit host controllers/adapters
 21 * RZ29B-VW = 4.3 GB wide disks
add the power supplies, power cords, non-shared disk storage, tapes, cabinets, etc.

Hope this helps.

You really should ask the H/W folks.  They determine what
they support, not the S/W folks that generally frequent this
conference.
