876.0. "Description of effect of different HOST_FUNTIONALITY settings wanted" by MOOZY::HAVERFIELDP (Paul Haverfield@CAO) Tue May 13 1997 22:06

A customer who has recently migrated approx 8 AlphaServers with dual HSZ40s from
OVMS to WinNT forgot to change the HOST_FUNCTIONALITY setting for the HSZ40s
(from A to D).  

All appears to be working fine with the current 'A' setting however,  which has
led the customer to ask just what effect does setting the HOST_FUNCTIONALITY to
the correct value have, or what effect does NOT setting it to the correct have?



regards,

paul.

876.1Yup it's obscure but it does make a differenceSSDEVO::RMCLEANWed May 14 1997 13:226
For the current release you are almost correct.  The only thing that is
different is DILX's ability to determine which units are available for
use depends upon host functionality mode D.

Do NOT take this as gospel for future releases because it may be different as
we find things that need to be different for different hosts.
876.2Host Functionality Mode on Sun SolarisSUBSYS::SUTHERLANDCandace SutherlandThu May 15 1997 14:0114
Hello,

	If a Raid410 (HSZ40) unit with Host Functionality Mode = D
were attached to a Sun Solaris Host; the Sun Solaris host may not boot.

Regards,

May be true but that wasn't the question.
