So - does Tru64 no longer support this RAID controller.

IF it does, is there some patch to download

I was trying to load 5.1 and 5.1a today on a DS20e and it kept saying no
hard disks were found even though a mirror set had been built

Comments please\

From the release notes for 5.1
---------
2.3.1.1 KZESC and KZPSC Array Controllers
The KZESC and KZPSC storage array controllers have been retired.
The KZPAC storage array controller is still supported.
----------------------
That last line there suggests that it is still supported in 5.1.
I didn't check if the DS20e has any problems with that card, perhaps
that is a more productive direction to check?

   I have a DS20 and it accepted the KZPAC OK for a v5.1 install
   and v5.1A upgrade.

   Do you have another RAID card in that box? We do. We had to
   remove the second RAID card (KZPCC) to allow the v5.1A upgrade
   to start using the KZPAC card and disks.

   Goodluck,

No other disk controller

What about for the ES40 - Tried it on that and it did the same thing

Ok David,
Lets fall back a bit here, from the SRM prompt can you see the mirrorset
with show dev?
If so exactly what errormessages do you get when you try to install 5.1?
Adam

Yes

We see the mirrorset - RAID 1

Once it scans the system hardware it comes up saying the system appears to
have no disks.
And quits on us

I tried three different KZPAC's - one channel and three channel

The system installs beautifully using a Ultra 2 SCSI (KZPCA) regular
controller

There is obviously someything funky about Tru64 5.1 forward on the ES40

Hi,

I install last month a DS20 with a KZPCA-AA and KZPAC-CB.
I use the KZPAC for boot and data raid 1 disks, and KZPCA for tape and
internal drive.

It's working normaly

I had strange working during my first install because i was pluging
the card in HOSE 0 pci slot.

You need use KZPAC in HOSE 1 on DS20 server.

Perhaps this could help you.
