Re: twinax cards

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

I think others have answered more succinctly than I on the other benefits, 
tangible and otherwise, of moving from twinax.

However as far as OS upgrades go...
There was a newer version of hardware many years ago that did not have the 
strength on twinax that the older ones had.  In other words, if you had 
some marginal wiring that barely worked, or just occasionally gave you 
fits, then upgrading to that hardware was going to lower your tolerance 
level.  I don't remember what level of OS that the old hardware supported. 
 Or otherwise how to tell if you are running that older stuff.

I think you already have enough ammo to stray from twinax.  Don't have 
them delay the move from that obsolete version of OS any more by giving 
them any sort of ammo.

Is anyone still using twinax cards at v5r2?
Any problems?
Upgrading customers from v4r4 and trying 
to convince them to give it up.
